Biomethanation of banana peel and pineapple waste

Bioresource Technology, 1996
Biomethanation of banana peel and pineapple wastes studied at various HRTs showed a higher rate of gas production at lower retention time. The lowest possible HRT for banana peel was 25 days, resulting in a maximum rate of gas production of 0.76 vol/vol/day with 36% substrate utilization, while pineapple-processing waste digesters could be operated at ...

Fermentation of Waste Pineapple Peel as Electricity Source

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2018
Indonesia is a country that uses a lot of coal as a source of energy for power plants. It is not comparable to the availability of coal that is likely to be depleted. The way to solve this problem is by utilizing the waste pineapple peel. Pineapple (Ananas comocus) is a type of tropical plant that is widely grown in Prabumulih, South Sumatera.

Valorisation of pineapple wastes for food and therapeutic applications

Trends in Food Science & Technology, 2018
Abstract Background Fruit and vegetable processing industries account for the largest segment of food waste which is produced worldwide. The disposal of this waste requires a huge capital investment, majority of which is the transportation costs. This results in dumping and burning of these wastes in open fields.

SCP production of Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides on pineapple wastes

Journal of Fermentation Technology, 1986
Abstract Rhodopseudomonas sphaeroides P47, a purple non-sulfur photosynthetic bacterium was isolated from fresh water in the Bangkok area. The organism was selected for SCP production from Pineapple peep waste (total sugar about 100 g/l) based on its high growth rate (0.3 l/h), the capability of reduing high COD waste from 110.3 to 16.3 g/l, i.e.

Pineapple wastes: A potential source for bromelain extraction

Food and Bioproducts Processing, 2012
Abstract This study investigates the isolation and characterization of bromelain extract from the wastes of Nang Lae and Phu Lae pineapple cultivars (economical fruits of Chiang Rai province, Thailand). The waste portions such as the peel, core, stem and crown were 29–40%, 9–10%, 2–5% and 2–4% (w/w), respectively.

The Characteristic of Pineapple Waste from Canning Industry

Advanced Science Letters, 2017
Many food processing wastes were generated from traditional operation such as the peeling and coring of fruit. Unwanted material are discarded while primary food are used for further processing. Food processing operation also uses enormous quantities of water which are consequently discharge as a polluted effluent.
