experiments was added to adjust the moisture content of the food
waste and inoculate microorganisms.
The mixtures were prepared in the following proportions on a
wet weight basis: 41.6% matured compost + 58.4% food waste
(w/w). After loaded into the bioreactor, the reaction chamber temperature
was set to 60 C; the mixer was set to turn clockwise for
10 min and turn counterclockwise for 10 min; and the rotation
speed was set to 20 rpm. Deionized water was added to maintain
the moisture contents (MC) of the mixture at 61–65%. As a contr
