The bio-hydrogen production from food waste was evaluated by means of experimental analysis and kinetic model. Biochemical hydrogen potential tests and the application of the modified Gompertz equation were performed. Batch test results showed a production of 48.9 NlH
2 /kgTVSsub while the kinetic model well fitted the experimental curve with a correlation coefficient of 0.998. Experimental and model data fell within the range reported by previous researches on bio-hydrogen production from food waste. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published
