A new study, led by FABE Research Scientist Beenish Saba, found that adding an electrical jolt to fermentation of industrial food waste speeds up the process and increases the yield of platform chemicals that are valuable components in a wide range of products. This discovery could increase efficiency and sustainability, as well as decrease the cost of production of multipurpose chemicals. In addition, Ohio State University researchers also discovered that combining two bacterial species in the electro-fermentation mix allowed for more targeted chemical production.
