How Pineapple Skins Are Turned into Natural Soap & Detergent: Step-by-Step Fermentation Process

Pineapple skins are transformed into natural soap and detergent through a fascinating fermentation process. Here’s how it’s done:

  1. Collection and Preparation: Pineapple waste, including skins and cores, is collected and mixed with water and sugar in a specific ratio (10:1:3, water:sugar:pineapple).
  2. Fermentation: The mixture is left to ferment for 2-3 months, allowing natural enzymes and acids to break down the pineapple waste.
  3. Filtration: The fermented liquid is filtered to remove solid waste, resulting in a potent, enzyme-rich liquid.
  4. Blending: The liquid is blended with oils like coconut or corn oil to create soap or detergent products.
  5. Packaging: The final product is packaged and ready for use

This process, developed by companies like Fuwa Biotech, creates eco-friendly, biodegradable cleaning products that are gentle on surfaces and the environment. The fermentation process also produces a natural fertilizer from the solid waste
