Abstract：
Food waste is currently a widely discussed phenomenon with significant economic and social consequences. One third of the food produced in the world is wasted at various points along the food supply chain. This article presents a comprehensive study that examines consumer behavior in dealing with food waste and activities in the composting process that enable waste sanitation. The survey conducted as part of this study showed that consumers want to eliminate odors, are concerned about potential infections, and generally sort less food waste. This study suggested that the addition of appropriate additives could be a solution. The results indicated that additives could eliminate negative side effects such as unpleasant odors, the presence of insects and rodents, and act as a prevention of the occurrence of pathogenic organisms. Tea tree oil showed the best positive physical and chemical properties among the additives tested (CaCO3 and citric acid) with a significant effect on inhibiting the growth of bacterial strains such as Salmonella strains and had the strongest antibacterial effect, neutralized unpleasant odors, and stabilized the waste. The use of additives could be a future solution to meet consumer demands, improve the quality of food waste and advance the circular economy to improve the sustainability of agricultural systems.
摘要：
食物浪费是目前广泛讨论的现象，具有重大的经济和社会后果。世界上三分之一的粮食被浪费在食品供应链的各个点。本文提出了一项全面的研究，研究了消费者在处理食物浪费和堆肥过程中实现废物卫生的行为。作为这项研究的一部分进行的调查表明，消费者希望消除异味，担心潜在的感染，一般来说，食物垃圾分类较少。这项研究表明，添加适当的添加剂可能是一个解决方案。结果表明，添加剂可以消除负面副作用，如令人不快的气味，昆虫和啮齿动物的存在，并起到预防病原生物发生的作用。茶树油在所测试的添加剂(CaCO3和柠檬酸)中表现出最佳的正理化性质,对沙门氏菌等细菌菌株的生长具有显著的抑制作用,抑菌效果最强,中和的令人不快的气味，并稳定了废物。添加剂的使用可能是满足消费者需求的未来解决方案，改善食物垃圾的质量，推进循环经济，以提高农业系统的可持续性。
