Ripening influences banana and plantain peels composition and energy content

Abstract: Musa sp. peels are widely used by smallholders as complementary feeds for cattle in the tropics. A study of the influence of the variety and the maturation stage of the fruit on fermentability and metabolisable energy (ME) content of the peels was performed using banana (Yangambi Km5) and plantain (Big Ebanga) peels at three stages of maturation in an in vitro model of the rumen. Peels samples were analysed for starch, free sugars and fibre composition. Samples were incubated in the presence of rumen fluid. Ki… Show more

“…Therefore, it is necessary the processing of this material to reduce the moisture content, allowing nutrient concentration and inhibition of the proliferation of deteriorating microorganisms, allowing a longer storage time and reduction of transportation costs (EMAGA et al, 2011;MONÇÃO et al, 2014MONÇÃO et al, , 2016.…”

“…Banana peelings are low in fiber (Emaga et al 2011); hence, they are readily degradable. Feeding large quantities of BP, however, necessitates supplementation with large amounts of concentrates since BP are low in protein (Nambi et al 2001).…”

“…The use of banana peel in the diet for dairy cows has presented satisfactory results, since it has high content of fermentable carbohydrates in the rumen, especially pectin (10 to 21%), besides ether extract content between 2.0 and 10.9%, crude protein (8.28 to 8.92%), and fatty acid content with a satisfactory profile from the point of view of human health (Emaga, Andrianaivo, Wathelet, Tchango, & Paquot, 2007, Mahopatra, Mishra, & Sutar, 2010, Emaga et al, 2011, Monção et al, 2014, Souza et al, 2016. Banana peel is also rich in flavonoids, such as galocatechin and isocyanidine, substances that have anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic activity.…”
