Catering waste and orange peel were co-digested using an anaerobic digestion
process. Orange peel is difficult to degrade anaerobically due to the presence of
antimicrobial agents such as limonene. The present study aimed to examine the
feasibility of anaerobic co-digestion of catering waste with orange peel to provide
the optimum nutrient balance with reduced inhibitory effects of orange peel. Batch
experiments were conducted using catering waste as a potential substrate mixed
in varying ratios (20-50%) with orange peel. Similar ratios were followed using
green vegetable waste as co-substrate. The results showed that the highest
organic matter degradation (49%) was achieved with co-digestion of
catering waste and orange peel at a 50% mixing ratio (CF4). Similarly, the soluble
chemical oxygen demand (sCOD) was increased by 51% and reached its
maximum value (9040 mg l -1 ) due to conversion of organic matter from insoluble
to soluble form. Biogas production was increased by 1.5 times in CF4 where
accumulative biogas was 89.61 m 3 t -1 substrate compared with 57.35 m 3 t -1
substrate in the control after 80 days. The main reason behind the improved
biogas production and degradation is the dilution of inhibitory factors (limonene),
with subsequent provision of balanced nutrients in the co-digestion system.

The tCOD of the final digestate was decreased by 79.9% in CF4, which was quite
high as compared with 68.3% for the control. Overall, this study revealed
that orange peel waste is a highly feasible co-substrate for anaerobic digestion
with catering waste for enhanced biogas production.

According to African Journal of Food and Science Technology orange peel can be
alternative wine vinegar.The orange peel wine vinegar which complied with the
standard ranges of brewed vinegar after complete fermentation.( African Journal
