[Gasification] can suberin be digested by AD?

[Pannirselvam P.V]

 Dear Anand Karve and list members

Potato peels biodragabilty is not rapid one , but sure surely better than
 sugar cane bagasse  or municipal solid waste  as there is no crystaline
cellulosic polymer or lignin  phenolic poymer , whick make the latter
more difficult for enzymatic or microbial biodegradation.  Using
thermophilic  anaerobic composts, these  substrate biodigestion can be
increased;
BARC,Baba Atomic Resarch Center has sucessfuly made biogas using solar
energy in Mumbay, showing very good technical viability using such wastes

yours truely
