Abstract

Current work focuses on the production of bio-enzymes derived from fruit peels, specifically orange, banana, lemon, pineapple, and pomegranate, employing a meticulous three-month fermentation process. The resulting bio-enzymes exhibit substantial antibacterial and antioxidant properties, offering diverse applications in eco-friendly domains such as disinfectants, organic fertilizers, and cleaning agents. A comprehensive evaluation encompasses physicochemical properties, enzymatic activity, and antibacterial efficacy, providing insights into their effectiveness against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. The significance of utilizing fruit waste for bio-enzyme synthesis aligns with sustainable practices, contributing to environmental conservation and waste reduction objectives. The study underscores the versatility of these bio-enzymes, emphasizing their potential impact on various industries, from agriculture to household cleaning. Overall, this research not only contributes valuable insights into the synthesis and properties of bio-enzymes from fruit peels but also advocates for the adoption of environmentally conscious practices by repurposing agricultural by-products for sustainable and multifaceted applications.
