User:Moaltmann/Enzyme from Waste

The conversion of fruit & vegetable waste to a stable enzyme solution used for cleaning, fertilizing,...

Fruit and vegetable waste from kitchens (or gardens or farming?) are left to decompose/ferment in sugar water. The sugar acts as nutrient to fuel enzyme reactions.

I don't know any more about this than what I read on the web. It sounds almost too good to be true.

I am trying it out now and am thinking about distributing it.

searching this wiki for "enzyme" led me to:

• Fruit_waste_utilisation_(Practical_Action_Brief)#Enzymes - no useful info, but a mention
• Bioconversion_of_Organic_Residues_for_Rural_Communities - seems related but haven't found anything yet

• Enzyme DIY | Enzyme S.O.S. - basic recipe for creation of enzyme, seem to be the primary source on the web
• Enzyme Cleaner Recipe - ecokaren - accelerating the process using yeast.

I cannot yet see any scientific studies though sources suggest that the research is all science based (see #External Info above).

• partner with chemistry department at university to analyze enzyme

1. collect suitable waste
   • potential income
2. process waste into enzyme
3. distribute/sell enzyme
   1. bring your own container
   2. provide bulk/wholesale option
   3. package with instructions of how to do it yourself (i.e. how to replicate this)
      • sort of open source business

• run science experiment at schools
