Maillard Reaction Enhances Composting Humification

The study by Wang et al. explores the role of Maillard reaction products (MRPs) in enhancing co-composting processes using poultry manure (PM) and spent mushroom substrate (SMS). Conducted over 120 days at 28°C, the research analysed nutrient transformations, salinity dynamics, and humification indices. Findings revealed that MRPs significantly influenced dissolved organic matter (DOM) characteristics, with glucose identified as the optimal MRP. The study offers strategies for improved...
