“…Essien et al [17] reported banana fruit peel could support microbial growth thus it could be used as a substrate for the production of variable micro fungal biomass. The result is in conformity with Yahaya and Ado [18] reported the mycelial protein production of Aspergillus niger using banana peels. Saccharomyces cerevisiae was isolat "burukutu" in this study.…”

This study was carried out to assess the potentials of banana and plantain peel as feedstock for biofuel production. Fungi were isolated from spoiled banana, burkutu and spoiled bread using the standard microbiological method. The concentration of reducing sugar of the peels were measured using DNS calorimetry method and biofuel were measured using chromium (VI) reagent by Ultraviolet-Visible Spectrophotometer. Aspergillus niger, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Mucor racemusus were isolated. A reducing sugar concentration of 59.12 mg/g and 56.62 mg/g was observed for the banana and plantain peels. The highest concentration was found to be 0.35 mg/L for banana peels and 0.10 mg/L for plantain. The IR characterization of the banana and plantain sample revealed an intense strong broad band of alcohol O-H and alkane C-H stretching. The GC-MS result revealed the presence of benzaldehyde in all the biomass while 2,3-butanediol was only detected in the plantain peels biomass. This study showed the potential of banana and plantain peels biomass for biofuel production.

“…Protein content of banana peels increased up to 34 % through solid-state fermentation (SSF) by Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus and Pennicilium sp. while the tremendous increase of sugar content (142 %) is possible through fermentation by Aspergillus flavus (Akinyele and Agbro 2007;Yabaya and Ado 2008). Enhancement of nutritional value of banana waste through microbial fermentation is an important step in order to create high nutritional quality feedstock from low quality materials; protein and sugar content can be increased comparable to the soybean meal, which is a common ingredient in most animal feeds (Hong et al 2004).…”

“…Most of the edible bananas are cultivated mainly for their fruits, thus banana farms could generate several tons of underused byproducts and wastes. Therefore, without proper agricultural waste management practice, huge amount of valuable untapped commodity will be lost and causing serious ecological damages (Essien et al 2005;Shah et al 2005;Yabaya and Ado 2008). The native people have been utilizing these plants more than just for food purposes but have begun to explore the possibilities of utilizing banana plants in their daily life.…”

Banana by-products: an under-utilized renewable food biomass with great potential

et al. 2012

Banana (Musaceae) is one of the world's most important fruit crops that is widely cultivated in tropical countries for its valuable applications in food industry. Its enormous by-products are an excellent source of highly valuable raw materials for other industries by recycling agricultural waste. This prevents an ultimate loss of huge amount of untapped biomass and environmental issues. This review discusses extensively the breakthrough in the utilization of banana by-products such as peels, leaves, pseudostem, stalk and inflorescence in various food and non-food applications serving as thickening agent, coloring and flavor, alternative source for macro and micronutrients, nutraceuticals, livestock feed, natural fibers, and sources of natural bioactive compounds and bio-fertilizers. Future prospects and challenges are the important key factors discussed in association to the sustainability and feasibility of utilizing these by-products. It is important that all available by-products be turned into highly commercial outputs in order to sustain this renewable resource and provide additional income to small scale farming industries without compromising its quality and safety in competing with other commercial products.

“…SCP is produced using Aspergillus oryzae, Rhizopus oligosporus (Yousufi 2012), and S. cerevisiae (Khan et al 2010) grown on BP as a carbon source. Mycelia protein is also produced using the fungal strain A. niger and BP as a substrate (Yabaya and Ado 2008). However, the protein extraction from BP is carried out by different methods, such as phenol extraction, trichloroacetic acid (TCA)-acetone precipitation, and TCA precipitation (Zhang et al 2012).…”

AbstractBanana peel (BP) is an agrowaste produced in large volumes annually, especially by food-processing industries; however, its disposal is of significant concern. However, recent research suggests that BP is a valuable source of bioactive compounds, which can be converted into value-added products. This article reviews the conversion process of value-added products from BP and provides an outline on the chemical composition of BP and its possible applications. In addition, we also discuss the utilization of BP as a substrate to produce animal feed, biofertilizer, dietary fibers, clean energy, industrial enzymes, as well as its use in the synthesis of nanomaterials. Based on the research conducted so far, it is obvious that BP has a wide variety of applications, and thus, developing a biorefinery approach to adequately utilize BP will help realize its economic benefits to the fullest. Based on the valorization of BP, a scheme for BP biorefinery has been proposed. A material balance for BP biorefinery for 1-ton bone-dry BP is presented and our results show that 432 kg of protein or 170 kg of citric acid, 170 kg of pectin, 325 m
