Pineapple, extensively cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, contains bromelain, a protein-digesting enzyme that is highly valued the food beverage industries. Pineapple residues from processing retain these enzymes can be repurposed for silk processing. This research utilized Smooth Cayenne pineapple juice as degumming agent its pulp an adsorbent dyeing effluent treatment. juice, containing bromelain with protease activity of 16.40 µg/mL·min, effectively removed 22% sericin raw using liquid ratio 30:1 at pH 7 60 °C min. Unlike alkaline degumming, which weakened fibers (maximum load 6.18 ± 1.56 N), juice-treated retained higher strength 7.80 1.32 offering gentler alternative. The remaining pulp, after extraction, was processed into porous surface area 3.63 m2/g pore size 6.15 nm. material absorbed acid dyes 5, normal used silk. Valorizing reduces chemical use, energy consumption, environmental impact while lowering production costs enhancing local resources.
