A biorefinery approach integrates the valorization of agri‐food waste through low‐temperature pyrolysis. The process concurrently yields functional liquid fractions and versatile biochars, which undergo extensive characterization to evaluate their potential in diverse technological applications. These materials serve as efficient renewable catalysts in

Citric Acid Production From Pineapple Waste
Aspergillus niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae were grown on pineapple waste and their citric acid production characteristics compared. The effects of pH and methanol on the production were investigated. The highest concentration of citric acid was produced by A. niger at initial pH of 4.5 in the presence of methanol.

Production of citric acid by Aspergillus niger using pineapple waste
A solid state fermentation was developed for citric acid production from pineapple waste by Aspergillus niger KS-7. The medium was supplemented with different concentration of glucose, sucrose, ammonium nitrate and ammonium phosphate. It was found that pineapple waste with 15% (w/v) sucrose and ammonium nitrate (0.25% w/v) gave the optimum citric acid ...
