F. Different enzymatic assay of the best degrader
During the lab trials with 25 kg of organic kitchen wastes
consortium 12 was the best degrader among the three
consortia. This consortium was selected to further assess its
enzymatic activity. Enzymatic assay of consortium 12 at a
constant interval of 24 hours till 5 days showed that amylase
production continued to increase till fifth day. Both protease
and lipase showed same pattern of activity. The activity of
these two enzymes reached their respective peaks on the 3rd
day and then there was a gradual decrease in the enzyme
activity.
