The growth of different strains of Aspergilli used in this study was affected by changes in the pH of the slops. Best results were obtained at pH 4.8 or higher. The slops from two distilleries differed in composition, but this did not affect mold growth and did not alter consequent reductions of BOD and total sugars in the treated product. BOD reductions in diluted slops were higher (75%) than in undiluted slops (56%), increasing with slops dilution. Best results were obtained with a slops water dilution of 1:2.

Sago plants can be used from leaves, fronds, and stems with the main product of sago starch from the stem. In the production process, the sago plants used are 7-8 years old. The productivity of sago palms in Pemakuan Laut village is around 200 kg starch/stem with a selling price of Rp. 3,500/kg in wet conditions and Rp. 7,500/kg of dry sago flour. Sago processing waste has not been utilized yet by the community even though the waste can still be used for other purposes such as animal feed, hardboard, fuel, plant growth media, and fertilizer. Sago waste is a problem in the Pemaku Laut village environment because the waste has accumulated while the location for disposing of it is limited. Therefore, in this community service activity training was carried out in making animal feed (poultry) using sago dregs. The method used is fermentation. From the activities carried out, it was known that all the participants had started to utilize sago dregs, but the preliminary process had not been carried out, the dregs were directly given to livestock. In this training, sago dregs processing is carried out using the fermentation process. From the training, it can be seen that the community already knows the process of processing the dregs before giving it livestock to increase its nutritional value.

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutritional value of Tifton 85 grass (Cynodon dactylon (L) Pers) cultivated in a vertical flow constructed wetland (VFCW) system treating raw sewage. The VFCW operated according to the French system, but with only the first stage and two units in parallel, using a small footprint of 0.6 m2 per inhabitant. Wastewater feeding and resting periods were of seven days each. To evaluate the yield and nutritional value of the Tifton 85 cultivated, samples were collected after 30, 45, 60, 75 and 90 days of growth. They showed yields of 16, 28, 36, 36 and 38 t·ha−1 of dry matter (DM), respectively. The crude protein content decreased sharply during 60 days, however, with values of 29, 23, 15, 15 and 15% DM for the same days, respectively. The results indicate that Tifton 85 could be used for hay production and, to obtain better yield and quality, when used to treat raw wastewater the forage should be cut after between 45 and 60 days of growth.

In biogas production using dairy manure, an anaerobic digestion process also produced a by product bioslurry, also known as Anaerobically Digested Dairy Manure Wastewater (ADDMW), which is rich in ammonium and ortophosphate. ADDMW is potentially to be used as growth media to grow autotrophic organism, including microalgae. Furthermore, microalgae potential-ly could reduce organic content in ADDMW, thus play a role as phycoremediator to organic wastewater. In this study we used ADDMW medium for the growth of microalgae, determining its growth kinetics and level of reduction in ammonium and or-thophosphate content in ADDMW. In addition, we also analysed protein content in microalgae biomass for potential use as animal feed. The experiment was conducted using some variations in photoperiodism, i.e., 16:8; 12:12; and 8:16 and medium dilution factor of 2.5 and 5 times. Furthermore, frequency of inoculum addition was also examined i.e., a) 80 mL on day 0 (once); b) 26.67 mL on day 0 to 2 (first 3 days); and c) 8 mL on days 0 to 9 (every day). The results showed that 16:8 photo-period and 5 times medium dilution produced the highest biomass growth and productivity kinetics. Variation in frequency of inoculum addition showed no significant effect to a decrease in ammonium levels but indicated some effect to orthophosphate level. It can be concluded that microalgae can be grown in ADDMW media and can reduce its ammonium and ortophosphate content, as a phycoremediator, before the wastewater is dumped to the river.

Rum distillery slops proved to be a valuable medium for the growth of molds rich in mycelial protein. High reductions of BOD and total sugar content of the medium were obtained. The nitrogen content of recovered slops decreased as mycelial yield increased, indicating that the mold utilizes nitrogen for its growth. Increases in the pH of the slops were observed in all growth experiments conducted. Two mold strains compared favorably with the control mold strain in comparative mold screening tests among 12 strains investigated. Variations in protein content of mycelia were observed among the different strains studied. BOD reductions of slops were found proportional to mycelial yields, 30-53% after eight days' growth with the best strains tested.

The article raises the problem of ensuring metrological traceability of the measurement results of indicators of quality and nutritional value for food products and food raw materials: water (moisture), nitrogen (protein, crude protein), fat, ash and carbohydrates. The problem under consideration can be solved by applying reference materials of food composition, traceable to state primary measurement standards GET 173-2017 and GET 176-2019 and primary reference measurement procedures (PRMP), for attestation of measurement procedures and accuracy checking of measurement results. The article discusses the results of the PRMP development of mass fraction of fat, ash and carbohydrates in food products and food raw materials, as well as mass fraction of crude fat (oil content) in oil crops seeds and products based on them. The paper also presents metrological characteristics of reference materials of composition of dry dairy products, grain-milk dry porridges for nutrition of babies, grain dry porridges for nutrition of babies, egg powder, freeze-dried meat products, animal feed. The results of the work allow for building a chain of metrological traceability from GET 173-2017, GET 176-2019 and PRMP to routine measurement procedures, thereby ensuring the uniformity of measurements of nutritional value of food products.

Abstract This review is focused on the utilization of insects as a new opportunity in food and feed products, including their commercialization both in traditional and new markets. It has been suggested that insects are considerably more sustainable when compared with other sources of animal protein, thus alleviating the pressure over the environment and the planet facing the necessity to feed the world population, constantly increasing. Many chefs have adhered to the trend of using insects in their culinary preparations, bringing insects to the plan of top gastronomy, highlighting their organoleptic qualities allied to a recognized high nutritional value. However, in some markets, insects or insect-based products are not readily accepted because of neophobia and disgust. Moreover, the insect markets, farming, and commercialization are experiencing a huge growth, in which the domain of animal feed is undoubtedly a very strong component. The future of insects as human food and animal feed seems promising in view of the recent trends and challenges.
