This study aims determine percentage BSFL growth assess effectiveness in fruits, boiled vegetables, raw vegetables. The used this was collected from college cafeteria sorted into...

A laboratory study was carried out on anaerobic digestion of vegetable wastes (brinjal, cabbage, carrot, ladies finger) & flowers (jasmine, sunset flower, Roselle, African wattle, Nile tulip flower, silk tree mimosa.) in a 1L capacity of anaerobic digestor using cow dung as an inoculums. The digester was operated in the ratio of 1:1 of substrate to inoculums at RT. The substrate concentrations ...

The increasing consumption of energy with the depletion of crude oil reserves urges the usage of alternative fuel. Since there is an existing demand for edible vegetable oils, waste vegetable oils and non-edible crude vegetable oils are preferred as potential low priced biodiesel sources.
