Development of an Effective Chain Elongation Process From Acidified Food Waste and Ethanol Into n-Caproate
Introduction: Medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), such as n-caproate, are potential valuable platform chemicals. MCFAs can be produced from low-grade organic residues by anaerobic reactor microbiomes through two subsequent biological processes: hydrolysis combined with acidogenesis and chain elongatio...
