Effect of different additives on the production of bacterial cellulose from pineapple waste
The pineapple peel wastes contain high concentration of biodegradable organic material such as carbohydrate that can be utilized for the production of organic acid.With the goal of being economically competitive and overcome the problem of disposal of the waste,pineapple waste can be potentially use...

The pineapple peel wastes contain high concentration of biodegradable organic material such as carbohydrate that can be utilized for the production of organic acid.With the goal of being economically competitive and overcome the problem of disposal of the waste,pineapple waste can be potentially used to enhance the production of bacterial cellulose. Bacterial cellulose is known as polysaccharide and usually it been used traditionally in food industry and the latest it is used as a material for medical application.In this research,bacterial cellulose was produced by Acetobacter xylinum from pineapple waste as a fermentation medium with three different types of additives that is sodium alginate, microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose.
