—— — The proper degradation of food waste is one of the environmental issues that need to be addressed. This present study aimed to help the community in degrading their food waste. It uses homemade probiotics as enhancers to make the food waste degradation fast, odorless, and beneficial as the food waste can be used as soil fertilizer with experimental methods. The ways of degrading the food waste are (a)collection of food waste, (b) placing the six(6) drums in the sample site, (c) Labeling the six drums with and without probiotics, and (d)mixing probiotics with chlorine-free water. After the step-by-step procedure, observation for 14 days must be followed. In just 5 days, the color of the food waste changed. The odor was slowly gone in just 3 days and the physical appearance of the food wastes became watery during the 5th day of observation. Additionally, the food wastes have been analyzed by the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) with the test parameters of Nitrogen, Moisture, and Potassium (K) to see if there are differences between the sample food wastes with and without probiotics. The result shows that Nitrogen, Moisture, and Potassium (K) are present with closer percentages in both food waste. Statistically treated, there is no significant difference in the physico-chemical composition/level of compost with probiotics (treated) and without probiotics (untreated). In conclusion, the degradation of organic kitchen food wastes with probiotics can be fast, odorless, and beneficial to soil with the presence of Nitrogen, Moisture, and Potassium.
