Assessment reveals kinetic models improve biogas yield prediction in food wastes, indicating enhanced biodegradability.

This research evaluates the effectiveness of kinetic models in predicting biogas yield from food waste.
Assessed different kinetic models under anaerobic digestion and co-digestion conditions.
Examined food wastes with and without garden waste across various pretreatment methods: thermal, extrusion, and sequential.
Evaluated performance based on hydrolysis constants and lag phase variations.
Kinetic models showed improved predictions for biogas yield from pretreated food wastes.
Hydrolysis constant increased and lag phase decreased in pretreated samples, indicating improved biodegradability.
Modified logistic model outperformed others, while superimposed was less accurate despite better performance.
