“…These results are comparable to the results of a study by Kalia et al (2000), in which the mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic digestion of banana leaf sheaths gave 72 and 79% methane in the biogas, respectively. We found that leaf blades produced less biogas (126 mL g −1 ) than the other MPs, but that the biogas produced from the anaerobic digestion of leaf blades was the richest in methane (78%).…”

“…The relatively small quantity of inoculum (1 volume) used may explain the relatively long retention times and low productivities found in our study compared with other studies (Kalia et al 2000;Chanakya et al 2012). …”

“…For example, Kalia et al (2000) performed anaerobic digestions of banana stems in mesophilic conditions using twice the inoculum volumes that we used, and using banana biomass concentrations of 2% (w/v) in the fermentation medium. These authors achieved a TBP of 271 mL g −1 after 57 d of DT, the productivity being 4 mL L −1 h −1 , and, under thermophilic conditions, they achieved a TBP of 217 mL g −1 after 24 d of DT, the productivity being 7.5 mL L −1 h −1…”

“…Many agricultural and municipal waste biomass resources are currently used to produce biomethane, but very few reports of biomethane production from banana lignocellulosic biomass (BALICEBIOM) have been published. Biomethane production from banana pseudo-stems under thermophilic and mesophilic conditions has been achieved (Kalia et al 2000), and methane production from banana leaves has been studied in a plug flow digester (Chanakya et al 2012). However, to the best of our knowledge, there has been no study of the entire range of BALICEBIOM materials in which each of the six main morphological parts (MPs) of the banana plant, after harvesting the fruit, have been separately and comparatively studied for their suitability for biogas production.…”

Significance statement: In this original paper, we present the biochemical composition and potential methane production from the anaerobic digestion of each type of lignocellulosic waste from a banana cultivar (Williams Cavendish: triploid Musa AAA group). These wastes are usually abandoned in the plantation after the fruits have been harvested. There is great interest in obtaining energy from this generally neglected biomaterial, particularly in the contexts of global warming and sustainable development. 2Abstract: We studied banana lignocellulosic biomass (BALICEBIOM) that is abandoned after fruit harvesting, and assessed its biochemical methane potential, because of its potential as an energy source. We monitored biogas production from six morphological parts (MPs) of the "Williams Cavendish" banana cultivar using a modified operating procedure (KOP) using KOH. Volatile fatty acid (VFA) production was measured using high performance liquid chromatography. The bulbs, leaf sheaths, petioles-midribs, leaf blades, rachis stems, and floral stalks gave total biogas production of 256, 205, 198, 126, 253, and 221 mL g −1 dry matter, respectively, and total biomethane production of 150, 141, 127, 98, 162, and 144 mL g −1 , respectively. The biogas production rates and yields depended on the biochemical composition of the BALICEBIOM and the ability of anaerobic microbes to access fermentable substrates. There were no significant differences between the biogas analysis results produced using KOP and gas chromatography. Acetate was the major VFA in all the MP sample culture media.The bioconversion yields for each MP were below 50%, showing that these substrates were not fully biodegraded after 188 d.The estimated electricity that could be produced from biogas combustion after fermenting all of the BALICEBIOM produced annually by the Cameroon Development Corporation-Del Monte plantations for 188 d is approximately 10.5×10 6 kW h (which would be worth 0.80-1.58 million euros in the current market). This bioenergy could serve the requirements of about 42000 people in the region, although CH 4 productivity could be improved.

“…Although, organic matter of the biowastes can be digested up to 95 % into carbon dioxide and CH 4 [4], however, the whole process is limited by the hydrolytic step. The hydrolysis of organic matters is influenced by its composition, the most difficult to digest are the lignocellulosic biowaste [5]. Another issue which demands attention is the fact that although H 2 is an intermediate of the AD process, however, in nature, it results in CH 4 as the final byproduct with little or no H 2 evolution [6].…”

Vegetable wastes (VW) and food wastes (FW) are generated in large quantities by municipal markets, restaurants and hotels. Waste slurries (250 ml) in 300 ml BOD bottles, containing 3, 5 and 7 % total solids (TS) were hydrolyzed with bacterial mixtures composed of: Bacillus, Acinetobacter, Exiguobacterium, Pseudomonas, Stenotrophomonas and Sphingobacterium species. Each of these bacteria had high activities for the hydrolytic enzymes: amylase, protease and lipase. Hydrolysate of biowaste slurries were subjected to defined mixture of H 2 producers and culture enriched for methanogens. The impact of hydrolysis of VW and FW was observed as 2.6-and 2.8-fold enhancement in H 2 yield, respectively. Direct biomethanation of hydrolysates of VW and FW resulted in 3.0-and 1.15-fold improvement in CH 4 yield, respectively. A positive effect of hydrolysis was also observed with biomethanation of effluent of H 2 production stage, to the extent of 1.2-and 3.5-fold with FW and VW, respectively. The effective H 2 yields were 17 and 85 l/kg TS fed, whereas effective CH 4 yields were 61.7 and 63.3 l/kg TS fed, from VW and FW, respectively. This ecobiotechnological strategy can help to improve the conversion efficiency of biowastes to biofuels.
