Abstract:
This study investigates the impact of shortening fermentation durations to 5 days compared to the conventional 30 days on enzyme activity in garbage enzyme production. Maximum enzyme activities were measured after 5 days of fermentation compared to 30 days, revealing a 93-95% increase in cellulase, amylase, and protease activities, and a 50% increase in lipase activity when the fermentation period is shortened. The study also examines the effect of pH on enzyme activity after the 5-day fermentation period, showing maximum activities of 100 U/ml for protease, 50 U/ml for cellulase, 12 U/ml for lipase, and 84 U/ml for amylase. This enhanced enzyme activity resulting from shortened fermentation enables larger-scale production of enzymes from organic waste, crucially supporting the application of garbage enzymes in various treatment processes while promoting the circularity of waste reuse.
