Abstract

One of the greatest obstacles in today's world is waste management. Millions of tonnes of organic solid wastes are generated every year. Organic solid wastes are a rich source of polysaccharide components. Converting these waste products into value-added products is required today. The polysaccharides present in the waste act as microbial nutrients, allowing microbial biotreatment of organic waste to produce industrially important enzymes. Solid and submerged fermentation is the technology that looks most promising for producing enzymes on an industrial scale from organic solid waste. SSF provides the natural environment to the microorganisms and better conditions for microorganism growth and enzyme production than submerged environments. Several microorganisms, including bacteria, fungus, and yeast, utilise waste as a source of energy, and enzymes are produced under suitable conditions via software. This study gives an extensive summary of organic solid waste as a raw source for synthesizing commercial enzymes. In addition, a detailed analysis was carried out on the production techniques and optimum conditions for its specific activity and their applications using various organic solid waste was provided.
