Fermented Fruit Peels for Sustainable Biotechnological Applications

Aminu Argungu Umar, Isah Musa Fakai, Ibrahim Shehu & Zainab Saidu Salah · Asian Journal of Biotechnology and Bioresource Technology · 2026

A new and environmentally viable approach towards recycling fruit waste is the valorisation through fermentation that could yields a multipurpose liquid called eco-enzyme (EE) or garbage enzyme. This study aimed to provide an insight on the multienzyme, antibacterial and antioxid...
