The invention provides an
agricultural waste hydrolytic acidification method and a method for synthesizing medium-chain
fatty acid, and belongs to the technical field of
agricultural waste resource utilization. The invention provides an
agricultural waste hydrolytic acidification method which comprises the following steps: after adjusting the
solid content of agricultural waste, mixing the agricultural waste with short-chain AHLs and DPD-loaded
chitosan microspheres to obtain a hydrolytic acidification
system; and carrying out anaerobic
fermentation on the hydrolytic acidification
system to obtain a hydrolytic acidification product. According to the method, short-chain AHLs are added in the hydrolytic acidification process of the agricultural wastes to activate related genes of hydrolytic acidification
bacteria, so that
biofilm formation and
extracellular enzyme secretion are promoted, the hydrolytic acidification efficiency of a substrate is improved, and substrate
decomposition and short-chain
fatty acid accumulation are promoted; dPD is released in a delayed manner in the metabolic peak period of acid-producing
bacteria, the metabolic division of hydrolytic
bacteria and acid-producing bacteria is coordinated, the activity of methanogens is inhibited, substrate competition is reduced, the degradation rate of agricultural waste
cellulose is increased, and the yield of medium-chain
fatty acid precursor substances such as
acetic acid in
fermentation substrates is increased.
