Abstract: | "Kitchen waste (KW) generates odors comprising complex volatile organic compounds (VOCs). We used gas chromatography-mass spectrometry to analyze VOCs, and 16S gene sequencing was used to analyze the microbial community composition and microbial metabolic mechanism. The results showed that the major odor-causing VOCs were hydrogen sulfide, methanethiol, methyl sulfide, dimethyl disulfide, and ethyl acetate. As the temperature increased, the VOCs and microbial community composition became more complex, and the microbial community related to VOC production included Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, Acetobacter, and Weissella. Based on PICRUSt2 analysis, the possibility of typical VOC interconversion by microbial metabolism was low. It was more likely that precursor substances were catalyzed by enzymes to generate the corresponding VOCs. Attention should be given to trichloromethane and 1,2-dichloroethane, which may cause adverse health effects through long-term inhalation. The study results provide guidance for controlling VOCs from KW" |
