The objective of this study was to find optimum amount of bamboo smoke distillate (BSD) and reaction time (RT) for ammonia removal in food waste compost (FWC). BSD amount (30 to 90 mL BSD/600 g FWC) and RT (1 to 3 h) significantly affected the ammonia removal in FWC. Within the design boundaries, the optimum conditions for maximum ammonia removal (8.47 ppm $NH_3$/600g FWC) were 74 mL BSD/600 g FWC (0.123 mL BSD/g FWC) and 3 h RT. The BSD was effective on ammonia removal in FWC, rather than vinegar (p < 0.05). Our results proved a good potential of BSD to serve as an alternative deodorant for FWC.

The antimicrobial and antioxidative effect of mechanical bamboo smoke distillate (MBSD) and traditional bamboo smoke distillate (TBSD) were investigated. Antimicrobial activity was demonstrated against all the microorganisms used in this experiment and was the higher in TBSD than in MBSD, with an activity concentration in the range 10-50 ${\mu}m/8$ mm paper disc. At the same concentration the antimicrobial activities of TBSD and MBSD was Gram positive bacteria>gram negative bacteria>Lactotobacillus>yeast. The minimum inhibition concentration (MIC) of BSC was 1.0-7.3${\mu}L/mL$, and the maximum lethal concentration (MLC) was 26.7-116.7 ${\mu}L/mL$. The soybean oil oxidative stability increased with increasing BSD concentration. The induction periods of oil oxidation were 3.75, 4.57 and 12.06 days for the samples with BSD added at 0.1%, 0.5%, and 1.0%, respectively. The RAE in soybean oil with 0.5% BSD was evaluated to be 168.45%, being similar to that of the sample with 0.02% BHT.
