Fruit wastes may cause serious environmental problems, since it accumulates in agro-industrial yards without having any significant and commercial value. Since disposal of these wastes is expensive due to high costs of transportation and a limited availability of landfills they are unscrupulously disposed causing concern as environmental problems. Furthermore, the problem of disposing by-products is further aggravated by legal restrictions. The pineapple (Ananas comosus) is one of the most important fruits in the world and is the leading edible member of the family Bromeliaceae. Large production of this fruit in world is mostly used for juice extraction in the industry which leads to produce huge amounts of residues, including peel and other segment membranes. Pineapple peel is the main by-product of pineapple processing industry and results in massive waste generations and if it is not processed properly produces odour, soil pollution and harborage for insects (Mandalari et al., 2006). In this regard, several efforts have been made in order to utilize pineapple wastes obtained from different sources. So an eco-friendly utilization of this waste is becoming more and more necessary for the production of value added products. The wastes from pineapple canneries have been used as the substrate for bromelain, organic acids and ethanol because of the presence of sugars, vitamins and growth factors (Dacera et al., 2009).
