In the present study amendment of three types compost made from lemon peels (LP), vegetable waste (VW), and cooked food (CF) in garden soil was carried out. It observed that pH all treatments increased control with a maximum LP 22% minimum CF 10% at 270 days. The temperature higher than increase 52% 20% VW 90 A OC has been compost-treated 106% followed by 64% 24% days.TN up to days 484, 100, 46...

Two experiments were conducted to determine physical and chemical properties of vermicelli waste (VW) and effect of VW inclusion levels on growth performance of broilers. In experiment 1, VW samples were randomly collected from vermicelli industry in Thailand to analyze nutritional composition. Vermicelli waste contained 9.96% moisture, 12.06% CP, 32.30% crude fiber (CF), and 0.57% ether extrac...

In order to solve the problem of H2S corrosion in biogas utilization, it is necessary understand characteristics and mechanisms production chicken manure anaerobic digestion (CMAD) vegetable waste (VWAD). this study, lab-scale batch tests CMAD VWAD were conducted for 67 days at 35 °C. The results showed that sulfide was found be major form sulfur (accounting 90%) (70%). average concentration 19...

A growing demand – above all in industrialised countries – for safer foods and cleaner production processes has been observed in recent times. This has led to a drive, by the agro-alimentary industries, for waste reduction and upgrading as a strategy to reduce costs and achieve new sources of income. In fact, waste may be a source of high-added value products potentially useful as beneficial fo...

Mispah form (FAO: Lithosol) soil contaminated with >380 000 mg kg−1 creosote was co-composted with cattle manure and mixed vegetable waste for 19 months. The soil was mixed with wood chips to improve aeration and then mixed with cattle manure or mixed vegetable waste in a ratio of 4:1. Moisture, temperature, pH, ash content, C:N ratios, and the concentrations of creosote in the compost systems ...

feasibility of waste lime sludge (ls) obtained from acetylene gas production industry wasstudied during co-composting of vegetable waste for enhanced volatile solids reduction. four different trialswere carried out with varying percentage of ls combinations i.e. trial 1, trial 2, trial 3 and trial 4. increasedaddition of waste ls raised the levels of ph in the compost, thereby volatizing the ni...

OBJECTIVE To (i) evaluate food choices and consumption patterns of elementary- and middle-school students who participate in the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) and (ii) compare students' average nutrient intake from lunch with NSLP standards. DESIGN Plate waste from elementary- and middle-school students' lunch trays was measured in autumn 2010 using a previously validated digital photo...

Food processing industry including fruit and vegetable processing is the second largest generator of wastes into the environment only after the household sewage. The generation of biodegradable waste increased linearly with the growth and development of food processing industry. A huge amount of waste in the form of liquid and solid is produced in the fruit and vegetable processing industries i...

Anaerobic digestion has been proven as sustainable process technology for organic waste conversion into renewable bio-energy. This study was conducted to evaluate the performance of mono-digestion different types food substrates using pilot scale anaerobic bio-digester (1200 L) in terms biogas production and chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal efficiency. The biochemical methane potential (BMP...

Laboratory and pilot-plant composting of garbage mixtures of newspaper and vegetable waste has demonstrated that garbage can be converted to a medium that produces mushrooms (Agaricus campestris) in good yield. Sewage sludge was less satisfactory than newspaper, gumwood sawdust, or vegetable waste as a compost material for growing mushrooms. A sample of commercially produced compost was found t...
