"what happens inside a cow's stomach after dinner, "as this Ohio State university presentation puts it.
The food goes into oxygen-free tanks with particular bacteria species inside that thrive without oxygen.
Those bacteria break down the food in many steps; during the last step, bacteria produce primarily carbon dioxide and methane gas.
Anaerobic digestion is considered also a less favored way of dealing with excess food. From an environmental standpoint, it's better to chop food up into deli salad,
give it away to charities, or send it to animal feed. But if there's some food you can't avoid throwing away,
anaerobic digestion is a great to take care of it. P. S. P. S. Popular Science Postscript:

#Tofu handling robot picks up soft, delicate food with ease Lands Work a manufacturer of tofu-making machinery has developed a robot that can pick up very soft foods such as tofu
which way the tofu is facing and how big it is using a camera. The images are analyzed by a computer and the robot works out
which way to orient the tofu. Once it picks the tofu up it then puts it in a package.
A feature of this robot is the hand which can gently carry very soft fragile things without damaging them.
If tofu is carried quickly it breaks. So the robot moves tofu quite slowly shifting only 1200 to 1500 pieces per hour.
But firmer items such as fried tofu can be carried at a rate of 2500 per hour.?
We are using mainly firm tofu in our demonstration but it can also handle soft tofu.
Wee also included some soft tofu here so this system can even handle delicate things like that.?
Wee only just developed this system. People have asked about using it for seafood eggs and meat and we think it could be used for all kinds of foods.
The robot itself is a very general-purpose model. So for example if we reduce production volume on one line we could use the robot on another line just by changing its program.
That the best thing about using robots. n
