ABSTRAK
Anggaran
kuantiti dan pencirian fizikokimia sisa buangan makanan adalah pra-keperluan
untuk mengoptimumkan proses pengkomposan. Satu tinjauan untuk menganggar jumlah
sisa buangan makanan yang dijana oleh sektor komersial (n=10) dan isi rumah
(n=50) di Bandar Baru Bangi telah dilakukan. Kehadiran komponen sisa nasi, sisa
berasaskan daging, ikan, sayur-sayuran dan buah-buahan dan sisa buangan makanan
basah yang lain juga diperiksa. Ciri fizikokimia sisa buangan makanan juga
dianalisis. Jumlah sisa buangan makanan yang dijana di Bandar Baru Bangi
dianggarkan sebanyak 11.41 MT sehari.
Sektor isi rumah menyumbang 67.3% manakala sektor komersial menyumbang 32.7%
daripada jumlah sisa buangan makanan yang dihasilkan. Kekerapan sisa buangan
makanan berkeadaan basah adalah lebih tinggi (p<0.05) di sektor komersial
berbanding sektor isi rumah. Sisa nasi merupakan komponen sisa buangan makanan
yang paling kerap dijana oleh sektor isi rumah dan sektor komersial. Penilaian
ciri fizikokimia menunjukkan nilai pH, kandungan abu, bahan organik, karbon
organik, nitrogen dan lemak serta nisbah C/N adalah berbeza (p<0.05) antara
sisa buangan makanan yang dijana pada hari yang berlainan. Sisa buangan makanan
bersifat asid (pH 4.82-5.17) mempunyai kandungan air (65.9 – 69.5%) dan lemak
yang tinggi (13.1 – 20.2%) tetapi kandungan nitrogen yang rendah (0.63 –
0.85%). Walau bagaimanapun, nisbah C/N masih berada dalam julat (20-25) yang
sesuai untuk pengkomposan yang berkesan. Oleh yang demikian, dengan
memperkenalkan proses pengkomposan, sisa buangan makanan berkenaan berpotensi
digunakan sebagai kompos.

ABSTRACT
Estimating
the quantity and physicochemical characterization of food waste is necessary to
optimize composting process. A survey was conducted to estimate the amount of
food waste generated by commercial (n=10) and household (n=50) sectors in
Bandar Baru Bangi. The presence of cooked rice residue, meat based residue,
fish based residue, vegetable and fruit residue and whether the food waste was
in wet condition were also examined. Physicochemical characteristics of the food
waste was also analysed. About 11.41 MT of food waste was generated daily in Bandar Baru Bangi. From the
total, household sector contributed 67.3% whereas commercial sector contributed
another 32.7%. Compared to household sector, food waste in wet condition was
found more frequently (p<0.05) in the commercial sector. Rice residue was
the most frequent food waste component of household and the commercial sector.
Physicochemical analysis showed that pH value, ash, organic matter, organic
carbon, nitrogen and crude fat contents as well as C/N ratio were found
significantly different (p<0.05) among food waste generated on different
days. Food waste was acidic (pH 4.82-5.17), contained high moisture (65.9 –
69.5%) and crude fat content (13.1 – 20.2%) but low in nitrogen content (0.63 –
0.85%). Nevertheless, the C/N ratio was still within an appropriate range
(20-25) for effective composting. Hence, if composting process is introduced,
the food waste has the potential to be converted into compost.
