This study was conducted to evaluate the potential of pineapple peel (PP) and pineapple crown leaves (PCL) as the substrate for vanillic acid and vanillin production. About 202 ± 18 mg L<sup>-1</sup> and 120 ± 11 mg L<sup>-1</sup> of ferulic acid was produced from the PP and PCL respectively. By applied response surface methodology, the ferulic acid yield was increased to 1055 ± 160 mg L<sup>-1</sup> by treating 19.3% of PP for 76 min, and 328 ± 23 mg L<sup>-1</sup> by treating 9.9% of PCL for 3 ...[more]
