“…Other workers Saquido et al, (1983) reported that since carbohydrates are the main carbon sources for organisms, it would be reasonable to predict that fungal and yeast growth on banana wastes which are largely compose of carbohydrates would be substantial. Essien et al, (2003) www.sciecnceworldjournal.org ISSN 1597-6343 used as substrate for the production of valuable microfungi biomass.…”

“…Essien et al, (2003) reported the high protein of mycelia protein on banana peels as an indication that the waste could serve as a possible alternative substrate for the cultivation of fungi. The lipid obtained in this study (33.3%) is high due to the fact that fats are vital to the structure and biological functions of cells and are used as alternative energy source (Essien et al, 2003) Microfungal protein when used at level of 10.5%, 21.0% and 42.0% for feeding rats and chicks showed results comparable to these obtained in animals fed with casein. The economic feasibility of any mycelia protein process depends on its being able to produce a protein feed supplement of comparable quality at a competitive price with alternative protein feed supplement such as soya beans meal or fish meal (Duthie, 1975).…”

“…The peel of the fruit contains various antioxidant compounds, such as gallocatechin (Someya et al 2002) and dopamine (Kanazawa and Sakakibara 2000). A few applications of banana peels discussed in the literature include (1) exploitation for their medicinal properties (Parmar and Kar 2008), (2) in ethanol fermentation (Tewari et al 1986), (3) application as a substrate for generating fungal biomass (Essien et al 2005), (4) use in the production of laccase (Osma et al 2007) and (5) utilization as a biosorbent for heavy metal removal (Annadurai et al 2003). On the basis of the available literature, we hypothesized that banana peels that are inherently rich in polymers such as lignin, hemicellulose and pectins (Happi Emaga et al 2007) could be used in the synthesis of silver nanoparticles.…”

“…Recently, its protective effect against carbon tetrachloride-induced liver injury in rats has been identified (Singh and Rajini, 2008). While banana peel and citrus have been used as media for microbial biomass (Essien et al, 2005) or for enzyme production by fungi (Mamma et al, 2008), most of the by-products from the potato industry are used in animal feed with a combination of other crops (Radunz et al, 2003) or microbial digestion (Ugwuanyi et al, 2008). Plans are being made to use more of the by-products from potato processing.…”
