Abstract
Food waste is an important component of municipal solid waste worldwide. There are various ways to treat or utilize food waste, such as, biogas fermentation, animal feed, etc. but pathogens and mycotoxins that accumulate in the process of spoilage can present a health hazard. However, spoilage of food waste has not yet been studied, and there are no reports of the bacterial communities present in this waste. In this research, food waste was collected and placed at two different temperatures. We investigated the spoilage microbiota by using culture-independent methods and measured the possible mycotoxins may appear in the spoilage process. The results showed that lactic acid bacteria are the most important bacteria in the food waste community, regardless of the temperature. Few microbial pathogens and aflatoxins were found in the spoilage process. This suggests that if food waste is stored at a relatively low temperature and for a short duration, there will be less risk for utilization.
