Overview

This research investigates the phytochemical composition and antioxidant activity of fruit peel extracts, indicating potential health benefits.

Key Points

  • Fruit peel extracts showed moderate antioxidant activity, with the highest efficiency seen in oranges at 56.29%.
  • Total phenolic content varied significantly, with lemon peels yielding the highest phenolic value at 132.22 mg GAE/g.
  • Antibacterial testing showed no effectiveness against common bacteria like E. coli and S. aureus, limiting their use as antimicrobial agents.
  • Phytochemical analysis confirmed the presence of several beneficial compounds, such as flavonoids and alkaloids, in varying amounts across the fruit peels.
