摘要
Mangopeel is a waste product of mango processing which is available in large quantities in India during the harvest season, when disposal causes pollution problems. Ensilage of mangopeel for 6 months, the effects of ensilage on its physico-chemical characteristics and methane generation by an anaerobic digestion process were studied. Ensilage helped in the pre-treatment of polymeric constituents and the conversion of major components of carbohydrates into volatile fatty acids. The ensilage mangopeel was a useful substrate for anaerobic digestion for methane generation, and the biogas yield was as high as 0.68 m3/kg volatile solids (VS) added, with a methane content of 52 %. This compared favourably with 0.43 m3/kg VS added, and a methane content of 50 for dried mangopeel. The ensilage of feedstock could therefore eliminate pre-processing such as milling and pulverisation.
