Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
With the rapid development of the global economy, organic waste is sharply increasing. However, traditional treatment technologies present many issues, such as the low added value of products. Therefore, the development of high value conversion technologies for organic waste is promising. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to report novel technologies and new principles of the high-added-value biotransformation of organic waste via fermentation, or to review the relevant technologies and principles. The scope of this Special Issue mainly includes anaerobic or aerobic fermentation of organic waste to produce high-value-added products, including volatile fatty acids, medium chain fatty acids, polyhydroxyalkanoates, etc.
