Identification by GC-MS of the Components of Oils of Banana Peels Extract, Phytochemical and Antimicrobial Analyses

Abstract: Banana is eaten all over the world by all sections of the population. A lectin, called BanLec, was isolated from banana fruit and found to possess anti-HIV-1 activity. However, the peels of banana are thrown away as rubbish although farmers are known to use them as feed for their animals. We thought that there might be some valuable chemicals in banana peels and therefore decided to extract the oils from their peels. Two varieties of Nigeria bananas were chosen for an initial study. The crude methanolic extrac… Show more

“…These major compounds have various biological activities, such as antibacterial, antifungal, and antioxidant properties. The acetic acid, formic acid, and 4-hydroxy-2methylacetophone were the antibacterial and antifungal properties (Fraise et al 2013;Cheremisinoff and Rosenfeld 2010;Mordi et al 2016). The 4-hydroxy-2-methylacetophone in Musa acuminata Colla demonstrated the inhibition on several bacterial strains: Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas spp., E. coli, Streptococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., and Proteus spp.…”

“…The 4-hydroxy-2-methylacetophone in Musa acuminata Colla demonstrated the inhibition on several bacterial strains: Bacillus spp., Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas spp., E. coli, Streptococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., and Proteus spp. (Mordi et al 2016). Acetic acid was shown to have good antibacterial activity against microorganisms, while formic acid functioned as an important intermediate in chemical synthesis, and an antibacterial and preservative agent in livestock feed.…”

“…Niamah (2014) identificó, en el extracto metanólico crudo logrado por maceración, la presencia de compuestos fenólicos, flavonoides, saponinas, glicósidos y la ausencia de taninos. Mordi et al (2016) obtuvieron un extracto metanólico a través del método Soxhlet en el cual identificaron terpenos, taninos, esteroles y compuestos fenólicos en trazas, reconociendo además la ausencia de flavonoides. Ahmed (2015) identificó la presencia de saponinas, carotenoides, compuestos fenólicos, taninos y ausencia de alcaloides en el extracto etanólico crudo.…”

“…Ahmed (2015), reportó una elevada actividad sobre Staphylococcus aureus, P. aeruginosa así como en los hongos Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus flavus, Penicillium digitatum y Fusarium oxysporum; mientras que la actividad antimicrobiana sobre Escherichia coli fue menor. Mordi et al (2016), identificó una elevada actividad antimicrobiana sobre Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus spp., Klebsiella spp., y Pseudomona spp. Es importante recalcar que, pese a las investigaciones mencionadas, las cuales se realizaron en banano maduro de la misma especie, la fisiología de las plantas durante su desarrollo se ve afectada directamente por factores como el tipo de suelo, clima, cantidad de lluvias, época del año en la cual se produce, etc.…”
