Improving production of volatile fatty acids from food waste fermentation by hydrothermal pretreatment

TLDR
Food waste was pretreated by a hydrothermal method and then fermented for volatile fatty acid (VFAs) production and VFA production from pretreated FW fermentation was significantly enhanced compared with the control.

Investigating hydrothermal pretreatment of food waste for two-stage fermentative hydrogen and methane co-production.

TL;DR: Protein solubilization was dramatically promoted after HTP, whereas protein degradation was negligibly enhanced, and the ECE of pretreated FW was higher than that of untreated FW by 31.7%.

Anaerobic digestion of food waste for volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production with different types of inoculum: Effect of pH

TL;DR: The results showed that food waste hydrolysis increased obviously when Inoculum AN was used relative to Inocula AE at any pH investigated, and uncontrolled pH was higher than that at other pHs when either inoculum was used.
