“…The net cumulative methane of UBP and RBP, after subtracting the methane from blank of each substrate was approximately 720mL and 1260mL, respectively. This value is higher compared to the cumulative methane of 612mL from UBP as observed by Pisutpaisal et al [10]. In addition to that, the RBP completed the methane production earlier than UBP (at day 12).…”

“…The alkalinity of UBP and RBP were 50.00mg CaCO 3 /L and 116.67mg CaCO 3 /L, respectively. Pisutpaisal et al [10] reported the alkalinity of banana peels is in the range 1000-5000mg CaCO 3 /L. Besides that, the protein was detected in the banana peels with RBP have almost fivefold protein as compared to UBP.…”

“…These pH values are acceptable for the anaerobic process [22]. Then the reactor was flushed with pure nitrogen gas for two minutes to make an oxygen-free environment in the headspace [10]. Next, the reactor was sealed with a rubber cap and placed into the water bath at a temperature of 37°C [29].…”

Bananas are tropical fruits mostly eaten in Malaysia. The banana peels are high in organic, and putrescible caused the odour and leachate problem where it has been a dump. In practice, banana peels considered as a waste product that has been combined with municipal solid waste and dumped into the landfills. However, banana peels are bountiful in organic matter and high with moisture content. Thus, it could be a convincing substrate for biogas production through anaerobic digestion so that the major concerns of environmental protection is achieved aside from producing energy in a sustainable way. Therefore, this study was initiated to estimate the ultimate methane yield from the unripe banana peel (UBP) and ripe banana peel (RBP). Besides that, the assessment on the kinetics of the methane production from UBP and RBP is conducted using Modified Gompertz and first-order kinetic modelling. In this study, the anaerobic digestibility of banana peels measured in a batch reactor for 25 days each fed by UBP and RBP. The batch reactors operated at an inoculum to substrate ratio (I/S) of 1.0 and at a mesophilic temperature (37°C). The ultimate methane yields from UBP and RBP digestion were 847.57mLCH4 /gVS and 1405.31mLCH4 /gVS, respectively. The higher bioavailability (in term of COD, and solid) in RBP resulted in the higher methane production rate. Two first-order and modified Gompertz kinetic models were compared for the prediction of organic degradation, and the results indicated that the first-order kinetic model of the RBP fitted the experiment best. It concluded that ripe banana peels are the most preferable feedstock for the anaerobic digestion.

“…Methane is also produced by co-digestion of (1) BP (composition of total solids range from 2.5 to 10% w/v) and (2) by mixing BP with pure or waste glycerol under mesophilic fermentation conditions (Housagul et al 2014). Pisutpaisal et al (2014) achieved maximum biomethane yield and production rate of 439 ml/g TVS and 5.31 ml/ hr at 7.5% total solids concentration. However, 40-50-day fermentation is required to achieve 90% methane yield from BP (Gunaseelan 2004).…”

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
