Methane Fermentation of Coffee Waste by Thermophilic AnMBR

Inhibition of Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion of Waste Food by Long Chain Fatty Acids and Propionate

Methane fermentation of formate by Methanobacillus omelianskii.

The pathway of the methane fermentation of formate was investigated in several organisms by Stephenson and Stickland (1933), Barker (1941) and Stadtman and Barker (1951). Since in several instances H2 and C02 were generated during fermentation, the decomposition of formate would probably involve some prior oxidation to C02 and subsequent reduction to CH4 by the C02-reduction scheme of Van Niel ...

Effects of extracts derived from pistachio by-products on ruminal fermentation and methane production

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of different doses of pistachio by-product (PBP) extracts supplemented with alfalfa hay (AH) or barley grain (BG) on microbial fermentation in an in vitro fermentation system. The total extracted phenolic compounds were 36.96, 65.78, 67.02 and 8.85% and total extracted tannin contents were 37.11, 59.64, 56.87 and 7.55% when PBP was extract...

Development of a novel three-stage fermentation system converting food waste to hydrogen and methane.

In this study, a novel three-stage (lactate-+photo-H(2)+CH(4)) fermentation system was developed, which converts food waste to H(2) and CH(4), with an emphasis on achieving high H(2) yield. The system begins by first fermenting food waste to lactate, rather than acetate and butyrate, using indigenous lactic acid bacteria. Lactate fermentation effluent was then centrifuged, and the supernatant w...

Approach of Improving Coffee Industry in Taiwan-Promote Quality of Coffee Bean by Fermentation

Coffee is a typical drink with substantial increasing in global. With the growing popularity of coffee consumption, raw materials of coffee bean are mostly imported and are increased year by year in Taiwan. The study is firstly based on a qualitative research method of an in-depth interview, discussion, field investigation, and analyzing environment of coffee industry in Taiwan to realize the p...
