Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a versatile biopolymer prized for its remarkable water absorption, nanoscale fiber architecture, mechanical robustness, and biocompatibility, making it suitable diverse applications. Despite potential, the high cost of conventional fermentation media limits BC’s scalability wider commercial use. This study investigates an economical solution by utilizing fractions from fruit processing wastewater, refined through sequential membrane fractionation, as supplement to HS medium BC production. films were thoroughly characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), assessments properties holding capacity (WHC). FTIR confirmed structure, while TEM validated nanofibrillar 3D network. XRD analysis revealed slight increasing trend in crystallinity with addition wastewater fractions, DSC increase thermal stability F#6. Adding these notably improved films’ tensile strength, Young’s modulus, WHC. Overall, results underscore that can serve cost-efficient, eco-friendly alternative traditional media. approach supports circular economy principles lowering reliance on intensive treatments, promoting waste valorization, advancing sustainable production methods high-value biopolymers.
