  Research topic: Anaerobic Microbial Hydrolysis and fermentation of food waste for volatile fatty acid production. The primary focus was:To investigating the biodegradability extent and methane potential of the restaurant food waste and its dominant group of components (protein, lipid, and carbohydrate).To implement anaerobic fermentation of food waste inside digester with a strong focus on volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production.To enhance production of VFAs especially… Show more Research topic: Anaerobic Microbial Hydrolysis and fermentation of food waste for volatile fatty acid production. The primary focus was:To investigating the biodegradability extent and methane potential of the restaurant food waste and its dominant group of components (protein, lipid, and carbohydrate).To implement anaerobic fermentation of food waste inside digester with a strong focus on volatile fatty acids (VFAs) production.To enhance production of VFAs especially butyric and caproic acids.Skills acquired: Design and operation of a leach-bed reactor; GC/MS_FID; PCR; DGGE, Illumina sequencing; qPCR; Statistical tools (R, Minitab, and SPSS).
