Abstract

Fruit waste biomass is a renewable substrate whose production is 25-57 million tons (per year). It can contribute to environment problems as the disposal of fruit waste in landfills, leads to greenhouse gas emission, contributing to climate change. It grows pathogens (bacteria fungi and viruses), and causes the spread of diseases and also emit unpleasant odors as it decomposes. Production of important compounds like lactic acid can mitigate the environmental problems caused by fruit waste. The future use of lactic acid produced from fruit waste biomass holds promising potential in various industries like pharmaceutical industry, food and beverage industry, chemical industry and applications like for production of bioplastics (PLA)
