Food waste and food-processing waste are important feedstocks for producing biohydrogen that can be exploited to produce energy.
\nBiohydrogen has a higher energy content per unit mass (34 Kcal\/g-H2) than fossil fuels.
\nMicrobial electrolysis is an emerging technology that can achieve sustainable and clean hydrogen production from a wide range of renewable feedstocks.
\nDifferent operational parameters such as pH, temperature, C:N ratio, hydraulic retention time, and microbial community proliferation influence the performance and efficiency of photofermentation and dark fermentation technologies.
\nPretreatment of food waste (e.g., by physical, chemical, or enzymatic methods) is vital because this minimizes downstream processing and enhances biohydrogen yield.<\/p>\n
Annually, approximately 1.3 billion tons of food is lost worldwide, accounting for one-third of annual food production. Therefore, turning food waste into energy is of enormous environmental significance because of its sustainable nature. Nutrients and organic acids present in food waste can be used to produce (bio)products such as biohydrogen through biological processes. However, our understanding of the production of biohydrogen from food waste through photofermentation and dark fermentation is still restricted. This comprehensive study aims to review the potential of food waste for biohydrogen production using microbial mediators, including a brief overview of process parameters that affect the (bio)hydrogen production pathway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
