Deconstruction of banana peel for carbohydrate fractionation
Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2020The deconstruction of banana peel for carbohydrate recovery was performed by sequential treatment (acid, alkaline, and enzymatic). The pretreatment with citric acid promoted the extraction of pectin, resulting in a yield of 8%. In addition, xylose and XOS, 348.5 and 17.3 mg/g xylan, respectively, were also quantified in acidic liquor as a result of ...

Banana peel: an effective biosorbent for aflatoxins
Food Additives & Contaminants: Part A, 2016This work reports the application of banana peel as a novel bioadsorbent for in vitro removal of five mycotoxins (aflatoxins (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2) and ochratoxin A). The effect of operational parameters including initial pH, adsorbent dose, contact time and temperature were studied in batch adsorption experiments. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM),

Agricultural Wastes, 1986
Comparative studies on the saccharification of banana peels by acid, enzyme and steam were carried out to examine the potential of banana waste for ethanol fermentation by Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. ellipsoideus. Hydrolysis of the substrate using 2·5% sulphuric acid at 15 psi for 15 min enhanced the reducing sugar content more than ten-fold.

Recycled Raw Banana Peels for Bioplastics
2022Petroleum-based plastics may not be sustainable in the long run as crude oil will get scarce. Hence, it is imperative to find alternative sources of material from which plastics can be prepared. Starch, found abundantly in raw banana peel, which is a well-known kitchen waste, can be used to prepare biodegradable plastics.

Chemical & Engineering News Archive, 1969
Once again American Selling Price (ASP) has one foot on a banana peel. And this time, some of its most ardent and knowledgeable defenders in the chemical industry are afraid that the 48-year-old, controversial bulwark against imported benzenoids may slip from the law of the land into oblivion.

GLOBAL KINETICS OF BANANA PEEL COMBUSTION
2016A comparison is made between the thermogravimetric behavior in air of banana peel and wood, always characterized by devolatilization and combustion. Apart from the wider temperature interval, banana peels exhibit two peaks for both the first zone (instead of a shoulder and a peak) and the second zone (instead of a single peak), which can be described ...

The sterols and triterpenes of banana peel
Phytochemistry, 1969Abstract The following sterols and triterpenes have been identified in banana peel: β-sitosterol, stigmasterol, campesterol, cycloeucalenol, cycloartenol, and 24-methylene cycloartanol. 24-Methylene cycloartanol palmitate and an unidentified triterpene ketone were the major constituents.

Biosynthesis of CdS Nanoparticles in Banana Peel Extract
Journal of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, 2014Cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by using banana peel extract as a convenient, non-toxic, eco-friendly 'green' capping agent. Cadmium nitrate and sodium sulfide are main reagents. A variety of CdS NPs are prepared through changing reaction conditions (banana extracts, the amount of banana peel extract, solution pH ...

Ammonia‐Nitrogen Sorptional Properties of Banana Peels
Water Environment Research, 2011Using modified banana peel as a biosorbent to treat water containing ammonia‐nitrogen (NH4+‐N) was studied. Related parameters in the sorptional process, such as chemical modification, pH, and contact time were investigaed. The experimental results showed that banana peel modified by 30% sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and mesothermal microwaves (NMBPs) can ...
