Abstract:Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural substance produced by microorganisms and offers numerous bene ts. It can be produced by utilizing biomass waste which is abundantly available through the fermentation process. This study investigates the utilization of pineapple peel waste for bacterial cellulose synthesis and observes their properties as nanocomposites membrane after the addition of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs). The experimental methods were conducted by synthesizing BC using pineapple peel extract using f… Show more
