Get String Before Particular Symbol PHP

Lets suppose I have String as

$b = 'grapes, pineapple & fruit seller offered by flipkart from usa';

From this string I want 3 words as follow

  1. grapes
  2. pineapple
  3. fruit seller

The first word I get by explode()

Third word I get as follow Code

$bb = explode(",",$b);
$demo1 = substr($bb[1], strpos($bb[1], "&") + 1)."<br>";
$demo2 = str_replace($demo1, "", $bb[1])."<br>";
$result = substr($demo2, strpos($demo2, "&") + 1);
$newres = explode(" ",$result);
foreach($newres as $value){
    if($value == "offered"){
        break;
    }
    $myarr[] = $value;
}
$thirdkeyword = implode(" ",$myarr);
echo "Third Keyword :".$thirdkeyword."<br>";

Which returns me fruit seller.

But now I want second word pineapple. So how can I get the word before &(AND).

$b = 'grapes, pineapple & fruit seller offered by flipkart from usa';

$str = explode(' offered', $b)[0];
$result = preg_split('/\s*[,&]\s*/', $str);

print_r($result);

result

Array
(
    [0] => grapes
    [1] => pineapple
    [2] => fruit seller
)
