Onion waste materials have been screened on anaerobic digestion by a mixed population of rumen microorganisms. Both peels and pulp are degraded with an efficiency of about 50–70% at retention times of only 60 h. The degradation of onion pulp, rich in cell solubles, gave rise to a relatively high production of butyrate and valerate.
