Common methods like landfilling and incineration have limitations, making  anaerobic digestion (AD) a safer alternative for managing organic waste. AD is a series  of biological processes involving microbial degradation of organic matter in the absence  of oxygen. Kitchen waste, which includes discarded food scraps, offers potential beyond  biofertilizers or bioplastics, such as producing organic acids. However, the lack of a  comprehensive understanding of the efficiency of kitchen waste producing organic acids  through anaerobic digestion creates a gap in knowledge, making it difficult to optimize  waste management strategies and AD processes for maximum yield and efficiency. This  study focuses on the quantification of organic acid production by measuring  concentrations and types of organic acid produced from kitchen waste in controlled  anaerobic fermentation conditions. Kitchen waste was dried, ground, and fermented with  Aspergillus niger for 10 days. The process was monitored using HPLC to identify and  measure organic acid concentrations. Through this study, the effect of waste composition  on the types and quantities of organic acids produced during anaerobic fermentation was  able to be analyzed, which could improve the yield of organic acid. This study proves the  potential of degradation of kitchen waste to organic matter, subsequently for organic acid  production.20aFaculty of Industrial Sciences and TechnologyxDissertations 0aUniversities and collegesxDissertations 0aFinal Year ReportxDissertations  uhttp://umpir.ump.edu.my/id/eprint/45592
