ISBaMO – Organic Matter Stability and Bioaccessibility Index

ISBaMO Predicts the Bioaccessibility and Biodegradability of an organic product

This indicator, both quantitative and qualitative, can be used to evaluate the organic matter stability index after incubation, and to predict the degradation kinetics of organic matter in the soil. This index therefore provides information on the fertilization or amendment potential of the product analyzed.

A method based on the characterization of organic matter using successive solubilization processes coupled with three-dimensional fluorescence spectral analysis

 

The composition of the analyzed product, which is previously freeze-dried and ground, is calculated from the solubilized fractions in order of increasing bioaccessibility. Mapping using 3D fluorimetry makes it possible to determine the nature of the molecules contained in each fraction, as well as their levels of biochemical complexity and biodegradability.
