Lactic acid production from solid pineapple waste using Rhizopus Oryzae NRRL 395

Solid pineapple waste (SPW) is one of the most abundant agricultural wastes found in tropic region. It was reported about 40-50% of the wastes generated from pineapple canning industry are from solid wastes. Their disposal poses a serious environmental pollution problem. This study looks into the po...
