Abstract:Background: Succinic acid is a crucial platform chemical for production of various industrially significant compounds. For a sustainable and eco-friendly process, succinic acid synthesis has been shifted towards the fermentative route using renewable biomass substrates. Pineapple consumption and processing generate an immense amount of waste from its non-edible peel portion. As a carbon source, pineapple peel can be valorized for succinic acid bioproduction.
