Abstract The disposal of agricultural waste, particularly tropical fruit peels, presents significant environmental challenges. Durian rind, which constitutes 65% to 70% the fruit's weight, is a rich source cellulose but remains underutilized. This study investigated its transformation into particulate and aerogel forms for methylene blue (MB) adsorption. Cellulose‐rich samples were obtained by refining crude durian rind subsequently processing it aerogels through homogenization, sonication, freeze drying. Adsorption tests demonstrated that exhibited significantly higher adsorption capacities (up 84.3 mg.g −1 ) compared with (30.06–40.77 ), highlighting their enhanced performance due increased surface area functional group availability. was attributed high porosity, large area, abundant hydroxyl groups, facilitate electrostatic π – interactions MB molecules. process followed Langmuir isotherm model, indicating monolayer on homogeneous surfaces. Differences among from different components not statistically white pith‐derived best performance, role raw material composition. demonstrates potential waste as cost‐effective sustainable bioadsorbent. Beyond water treatment, these could be applied in biofuel production controlled drug release. Further optimization large‐scale strategies should explored industrial adoption maximize impact.
