Pineapple leaves emit greenhouse gases when burnt or left in the field following the harvest. To address this issue, the National University of Singapore scientists have discovered a two-in-one technique that recycles the materials as well as improves our health. Accordingly, researchers have dried and ground pineapple leaf fiber to generate a powder that has amazing properties. It has the capacity to absorb fat consumed by humans during a meal. As a result, the researchers have made capsules that can be swallowed and are now attempting to commercialize their discoveries.

It is generally utilized to flavor ice cream, custard, and rice pudding. Additionally, it is also used to help minimize plastic waste. Researchers at Bowling Green University in Ohio, United States, have used vanillin, the primary component of the bean, to produce bioplastic. The American scientists explain in a paper released recently in the journal Angewandte Chemie that they have succeeded in initiating the material’s breakdown when exposed to light with a wavelength of 300 nm. At this stage, the components are sufficiently stimulated that a chemical reaction is initiated, resulting in the polymer’s breakdown.
