Research progress on reuse of food waste with microbial technology

Abstract:

In this paper, the characteristics and harm of food waste were briefly introduced. New resource recycling technologies of food waste with microbial technology were reviewed, including bio-decomposable plastic production, biological anaerobic fermentation, microbial composting, biopesticide production, bioelectricity generation. In addition, the research progress on microbial degradation of food waste was introduced and the prospect of this new technology was discussed.
