Abstract: The primary causes of environmental degradation in a country could be attributed to the rapid growth of population, over-use of ecological resources, and establishment of different multinational companies and industries, which majorly affects the natural resources of the environment. Floral waste generated can become a threat to the environment and human beings. The rapid increase in the volume of waste is one of the significant phenomena leading to an environmental crisis. The main options available for processing/treatment or disposal of solid waste are composting, vermicomposting, anaerobic digestion, bio methanation, incineration, gasification, production of refuse-derived fuel, etc. There is a modern approach for converting floral wastes into value-added products namely compost, food products, biosurfactant production, incense sticks, etc. The present study deals with managing temple floral waste through efficient extraction of phytobiotic compounds developed during ensilage fermentation. Evaluation of the phytobiotic compounds using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) was done. Around 30 compounds with a retention time of 2.02min to 35.072min were identified in GC-MS. More than 10% of these compounds are Neophytadiene 43.88%, 9,12,15-Octadecatrienoic acid-methyl ester 13.45% and hexadecanoic acid-methyl ester 13.24%.

Keywords: Marigold temple waste, Microorganisms, Ensilage, GC-MS analysis phytobiotic compounds.
