“…Wide variabilities in the composition of banana peel exist (Blandon, Hamady, & Abdel-Moneim, 2015;Duwa, Saleh, Lamido, & Saidu, 2014;Negesse, Makkar, & Becker, 2009). The protein content of banana peel is low (1-100 g/kg) (Abel et al, 2015;Blandon et al, 2015;Duwa et al, 2014) protein but the protein is rich essential amino acids (Saheed, Jamal, & Alam, 2012). The metabolisable energy content of banana peel ranges from 11.6 to 14.0 MJ/Kg in the unripe and ripe peels respectively (Tartrakoon, Chalearmsan, Vearasilp, & Meulen,1999).…”
