Purpose Wheat straw is an agricultural waste which can be used as a cost effective animal feed. However, high hemicellulose and phytic acid content in wheat straw prevents it as a primary feed choice. Utilization of wheat straw in solid-state fermentation may result in wheat straw valorization and enzyme production. In this study, phytase production […]
Purpose In this study, the composting and co-composting potential of coffee husk and pulp with source-separated municipal solid waste (SSMSW) was investigated. Methods Coffee husk and pulp were mixed independently with SSMSW in different proportions (0, 33, 50 and 100%), and composted in triplicates with a total of 24 composting piles for 3 months. From each […]
Purpose This paper focuses on monitoring the behavior of five different types of waste and humus during composting to see the impact of the nature of the substrate on the process and the quality of mature compost. Method Green waste, coffee waste, household waste (Fraction of the household waste which having dimensions smaller than 8 […]
Purpose: In this study, we aim to investigate the suitability of five samples of compost extracted at various concentrations by testing for their phytotoxic response on Lactuca sativa L. We analyze relevant parameters with regards to the quality of the compost. By doing this, we hope to contribute to the attainability of clean, high-value organic […]
