摘要：There is continuous increase in municipal solid waste (MSW) around the world which has led to extinction of resources and have resulted increase in environmental risks. Conventional treatment methods such as such as open dumping and landfilling causes environmental degradation hence there is need to find better alternative. The major portion of MSW generated in India is organic in nature; Food waste (FW) comprises the main fraction (45%) of this portion. The final destination of FW mainly adopted around the world is Composting or anaerobic digestion. But there are various challenges associated with these methods hence Biofuels derived from the food waste have gained increased interest in recent years due to environmental and economic reasons. The environmental crisis and the depletion of fossil fuel have led the world to look for other alternatives which are renewable in nature and therefore production of biofuels has become an important priority. Also, food waste generation around the globe has become a new environmental concern which has tremendous potential and is not fully unexploited. For this reason, production of ethanol from food waste has become curious approach.
