Abstract

The banana (Musa paradisiaca L.) is a fruit widely consumed across tropical regions and recognized for its rich nutritional value and diverse bioactive compounds that contribute to human health. This study aims to evaluate the antioxidant content of banana plants from both nutritional and pharmacological perspectives through a comprehensive literature review. The review was conducted using scientific articles and official guidelines published between 2015 and 2025. The findings indicate that the banana pulp contains essential nutrients such as carbohydrates (27%), proteins (1%), and a variety of vitamins and minerals including calcium, potassium, and iron. In contrast, the banana peel, often considered agricultural waste, is abundant in bioactive phytochemicals such as flavonoids, polyphenols, tannins, saponins, and terpenoids, which contribute to its antioxidant potential. Antioxidant activity in banana extracts has been reported using various analytical methods, including DPPH (IC₅₀ = 439.12 µg/mL), FRAP (26.5828 mg QE/g extract), ABTS (IC₅₀ = 60.50–95.85 ppm), CUPRAC (EC₅₀ = 101–150 µg/mL), and CAA (397 ± 5 µmol TE/100 g) assays. Moreover, fruit maturity influences antioxidant capacity, with unripe banana peels generally exhibiting higher antioxidant activity than ripe ones. These results highlight that banana plants, particularly their peels, possess considerable potential as natural antioxidant sources for use in food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical applications. Furthermore, the valorization of banana peel aligns with the circular economy concept, promoting sustainable agricultural waste management and environmental conservation.

Abstract

Antioxidants are defined as inhibitors that work to inhibit oxidation by reacting with reactive free radicals to form stable unreactive free radicals. Antioxidants are substances that can delay, slow down and prevent the oxidation process or neutralize free radicals. Plantain peel contains several metabolite compounds that have the potential to have antioxidant activity such as saponins, polyphenols and tannins, flavonoids and terpenoids. Banana peel extract has high antioxidant activity. The methanol extract of banana peels was higher in total flavonoids and phenolics compared to the n-hexane extract of banana peels. The aim of this research was to test the antioxidant activity of the ethanol extract of plantain peel using the FRAP (Ferrc Reduxing Antioxidant Power) method. The extraction method for plantain peel uses the maceration method with 96% ethanol solvent. The ethanol extract of plantain peel was then added with several FRAP reagents then measured using a UV-Vis spectrophotometer at a wavelength of 720 nm with quercetin as a comparison and the results of the quercetin test obtained a linearity equation y = 0.0207x + 0.0114 with a correlation coefficient value of r = 0.9904. The results showed that the ethanol extract of plantain peel had antioxidant activity of 26.5828 mgQE/g extract.
