Title	Biochemical changes during anaerobic digestion of tomato processing waste.

Creator	Sarada, R. Joseph, R.

Subject	24 Fruits 04 Biosynthesis

Description	Studies on biochemical changes during anaerobic degradation of tomato processing waste (TPW) were carried out both in batch and semicontinuous modes of digestion. Around 65% of hemicellulose and 50% of cellulose components of TP W were degraded in both processes. Although 70% of protein was degraded in the batch process only 3.5% was degraded in the semicontinuous process. In contrast, lipid was degraded to a greater extent in the semicontinuous process than in the batch process. These data suggest that lipid degradation occurred through biohydrogenation arid/3--�oxidation mechanisms in both processes. The kinetics of degradation of carbohydrates, lipids and proteins and their further conversion to volatile fatty acids and methane in both processes are discussed.
