Harnessing Volatile Fatty Acids: Methods and Insights for Researchers

Volatile fatty acids (VFAs) are short-chain fatty acids typically containing two to six carbon atoms. These organic acids, including acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, and others, play critical roles in biological, environmental, and industrial processes. VFAs are generated primarily through anaerobic digestion of organic matter and serve as key intermediates in metabolic pathways such …
