F. Determination of Food Waste Degradation (Lab
Trial)
The consortia capable of producing all these enzymes
concomitantly were further selected for laboratory trials.
Laboratory trials were carried out in 5 kg small heaps of
kitchen wastes collected from Amity University’s different
canteen. Each heaps were inoculated with 5% of consortium
by evenly mixing the inoculum with the wastes and kept
under natural condition for 15 days to observe the visual rate
of degradation. The heaps were periodically altered and
water was sprinkled for proper aeration and moisture.
