•Fed-batch composting was achieved with feeding ratios of 5% and 10% but not 15%.•The thermophilic conditions were obtained due to bacterial self-heating.•The compost failure at the 15% treatment was mainly ascribed to excessive moisture.•Firmicutes et al. were the dominant degraders in the food was...
