Overview

Observational analysis reveals high recovery of bioactive compounds in banana waste, indicating their potential industrial applications.

Key Points

  • Extraction methods from banana bracts yield significant bioactive compounds, enhancing their market value.
  • Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) achieved the highest recovery rates of essential fatty acids and carotenoids.
  • Microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) demonstrated superior efficiency for isolating valuable phytochemicals compared to conventional methods.
  • This study supports the idea that using banana bracts can contribute to sustainable practices in food and pharmaceutical industries.
