Use of Pineapple
When a pineapple is canned, the outer peel and the central
core are discarded. The waste, called pineapple bran,
accounts for about 50% of total pineapple weight, amounting
to about 10 tons of fresh bran or 1 ton of dry bran
per hectare. The bran can be used fresh for feeding,
but is usually dehydrated with approximately 9% molasses
and ground into animal feed. The bran, either fresh
or dried, is a good feed for ruminants and is usually
mixed with grass as the roughage portion of the diet.
Furthermore, the waste from canned pineapple can be
used to make syrup, alcohol, vinegar and wine, and 3
organic acids which are Citric acid, Malic acid and
Escorbic acid. Roughage from pineapple leaves can also
be used to produce clothes and paper. The paper has
special qualities regarding its thinness and softness,
and is used in many countries to produce bank notes.
Pineapple shells are often used in various ways of food
decoration to make the dish looks more inviting.
