Abstract

Banana peels are often considered waste despite being rich in bioactive compounds with potential as natural antioxidants. This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of an ethanol extract combination of Cavendis banana peel (Musa acuminata) and Kepok banana peel (Musa paradisiaca) using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) method. The extraction process was conducted using 96% ethanol maceration, yielding an extraction efficiency of 9.13%. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids/terpenoids in the extract. Antioxidant activity was assessed through the DPPH method, resulting in an IC50 value of 6.47 ppm and an AAI value of 5.40, classified as very strong antioxidants. These results are comparable to the positive control (Vitamin C), which had an IC50 value of 6.29 ppm and an AAI value of 5.56. The findings suggest that the ethanol extract combination of Cavendis and Kepok banana peels has significant potential as a natural antioxidant source applicable in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Recommendations for future research include optimization of extraction methods, isolation of key active compounds, in vivo testing, and functional product formulation development to maximize the extract's potential.

Abstract

Banana peels, often considered agricultural waste, are rich in bioactive compounds with significant antioxidant potential. This study evaluates the antioxidant activity of a combined ethanol extract from Cavendis (Musa acuminata) and Kepok (Musa paradisiaca) banana peels using the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) assay. The extraction was performed via maceration with 96% ethanol, yielding 9.13%. Phytochemical analysis identified key compounds including flavonoids, tannins, saponins, and steroids/terpenoids, which are known to exhibit antioxidant properties. The extract demonstrated strong radical scavenging activity with an IC50 of 6.47 ppm and an Antioxidant Activity Index (AAI) of 5.40, comparable to Vitamin C (IC50 = 6.29 ppm; AAI = 5.56). These results indicate a synergistic effect from combining the two banana peel varieties, enhancing antioxidant efficacy beyond that reported for individual peels. This study supports the potential use of Cavendis and Kepok banana peel extracts as sustainable natural antioxidants for application in food preservation, nutraceuticals, and cosmetics. Future work should focus on optimizing extraction methods, detailed phytochemical profiling, stability assessment, and in vivo validation to advance product development and maximize health benefits.
