Overview

Analysis reveals variations in fructooligosaccharides and bioactive components in plantain peel, suggesting health benefits.

Key Points

  • Plantain peel demonstrates significant antioxidant activity, with IC50 values ranging from 49.3 to 125.7 μg/mL in DPPH assays.
  • Total phenolic content varies across plantain varieties, emphasizing the nutritional potential of diverse genotypes.
  • A total of 36 phenolic compounds were identified in the peel, including chicoric acid and quercetin derivatives.
  • The study suggests utilizing plantain peel as a functional ingredient rich in bioactive components for health applications.
