Delving into Agri-Food Waste Composition for Antibacterial Phytochemicals [PDF]
Metabolites, 2023 The overuse of antibiotics in the healthcare, veterinary, and agricultural industries has led to the development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), resulting in significant economic losses worldwide and a growing healthcare problem that urgently needs to

Avoidable Household Food Waste: Diagnosing the Links between Causes and Composition [PDF]
Recycling, 2021 Problems associated with the wastage of food intended for human consumption are well known and the discarding of edible but unconsumed food—avoidable food waste—is clearly undesirable.

Microbial community composition of food waste before anaerobic digestion
Scientific Reports, 2023 Anaerobic digestion is widely used to process and recover value from food waste. Commercial food waste anaerobic digestion facilities seek improvements in process efficiency to enable higher throughput.

Food waste from Danish households: Generation and composition [PDF]
Waste Management, 2016 Sustainable solutions for reducing food waste require a good understanding of food waste generation and composition, including avoidable and unavoidable food waste. We analysed 12tonnes of residual household waste collected from 1474 households, without source segregation of organic waste.

Effects of organic composition on the anaerobic biodegradability of food waste [PDF]
Bioresource Technology, 2017 This work investigated the influence of carbohydrates, proteins and lipids on the anaerobic digestion of food waste (FW) and the relationship between the parameters characterising digestion. Increasing the concentrations of proteins and lipids, and decreasing carbohydrate content in FW, led to high buffering capacity, reduction of proteins (52.7-65.0%)

Effects of organic composition on mesophilic anaerobic digestion of food waste [PDF]
Bioresource Technology, 2017 Anaerobic digestion of food waste (FW) has been widely investigated, however, little is known about the influence of organic composition on the FW digestion process. This study aims to identify the optimum composition ratios of carbohydrate (CA), protein (CP) and lipid (EE) for maintaining high methane yield and process stability. The results show that

Socio-Economic Planning Sciences, 2022 The COVID-19 pandemic changed consumers' purchasing and cooking behaviours, which may have resulted in changes in food waste. This study aimed to assess the impact of COVID-19 on household food waste, as well as on purchasing, cooking, and food waste-related perceptions and behaviours among 19 households in Guelph, ON, Canada.Four-week food waste ...

Pectin content and composition from different food waste streams
Food Chemistry, 2016 In the present paper, 26 food waste streams were selected according to their exploitation potential and investigated in terms of pectin content. The isolated pectin, subdivided into calcium bound and alkaline extractable pectin, was fully characterized in terms of uronic acid and other sugar composition, methylation and acetylation degree. It was shown
