The rising standard of living for the masses has resulted in rapid boost in the construction and
infrastructure sector. As a result, the consumption of concrete has been increasing. To meet the
various requirements of the structure, admixtures and plasticizers are added to concrete to enhance
its conventional properties. But the production of admixtures involves various chemicals which in
return deteriorate the environment. At the same time, the increasing population has resulted in
higher demand of edible food items which primarily include fruits and vegetables. The higher the
consumption, higher is the waste generated. The waste, being organic in nature, leads to soil and
water pollution and also produce greenhouse gases. Also, it becomes difficult to transport and
handle the waste. Thus, to produce an environment friendly alternative to the admixtures and to
utilize the organic waste – fruits, can be used to produce biological enzymes. This project deals
with the production and application of biological enzymes as an admixture in concrete. Further,
the optimum dosage required in order to achieve quality workable concrete is also found out by
testing different dosages of bio - enzyme admixture with concrete., Slump Test of concrete. By
adding different dosages of Bio-enzyme to samples, we get compressive strength of every sample.
By plotting a graph of Dosage of Bio- enzyme v/s Compressive strength, we can determine the
maximum compressive strength of concrete having optimum dosage of Bio-enzyme. The results
would clear whether the use of bio- enzyme increases the compressive strength of concrete or not.
An increase in compressive strength of concrete has been found with the use optimum dosage of bio-enzyme
