Abstract. Food waste is one of the concerns that has the potential to affect both the environment and humanity. Household food waste was the highest contribution to the food waste globally. The main focus of this study is to utilize the food waste from household into compost and to assess the physical and chemical properties of compost as well as to compare the physical and chemical properties with soil and commercial compost. Food waste was collected from household at Pasir Mas, Kelantan area and was left to mature for 2 months. The finished products produced in this research were compost that are black in color and odorless or earthy odor in smell. Seven treatments of output were prepared, which is SOIL, O1, O2, O3, P1, P2 and P3 in this research. The results of this study had shown that the concentration of physical and chemical parameters in all the samples were in range of 0.59 g/cm3 as the lowest to 1.03 g/cm3 as the highest for bulk density, for, moisture content is 21.12% - 63.88%. The highest concentration for every experiment except potassium is dominated by sample O1 and the lowest was the sample SOIL. In conclusion, from the statistical test of significance using ANOVA revealed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) between the values of all experiments of bulk density, moisture content, nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

Keywords: Food Waste; Compost; Physicochemical Parameters.
