Feasibility study on the extraction methods of essential oil from pineapple peels

The pineapple industry produces a substantial amount of solid waste like peels, cores, stems, crowns and pulp. Pineapple waste disposal can cause to microbial spoilage and environmental problems due to the waste material containing high moisture and sugar content. Utilization of pineapple waste, foc...

Aziz, Suraini Ramli, Norhayati Ibrahim, Mohamad Faizal The pineapple industry produces a substantial amount of solid waste like peels, cores, stems, crowns and pulp. Pineapple waste disposal can cause to microbial spoilage and environmental problems due to the waste material containing high moisture and sugar content. Utilization of pineapple waste, focusing on the peels, to produce a high value added product of essential oil is a good option.

The analysis results show that pineapple peels contained of important volatile compounds, thus indicating its’ potential to be used as substrate for the aromatic essence production. 2017 Conference or Workshop Item PeerReviewed text en http://psasir.upm.edu.my/id/eprint/64351/1/BIO%20Poster%20111117%2011.pdf Mohamad, Nurshazana and Abd.
