“…As it is observed, not only the banana pulp has been used as food ingredient; but also, the peel, which is usually discarded. The use of agro-industrial discards as food ingredients rich in bioactive compounds is a way to added value to these wastes and to decrease the cost (economic and environmental) associated to their disposition (Caballero and Soto 2019).…”
Banana are the most consumed fruit worldwide, due to their good flavour and nutritional characteristics; however, when the banana is very or over ripe, the acceptability by the consumer decreases, and in many cases the fruit must be discarded. An alternative to consume these fruits and revalue these discards is their use as a food ingredient. The presence of bioactive compounds gives added value to this type of ingredients; therefore, using methods, such as enzymatic treatment, that increase their presence is of great interest. In this work a commercial pectinase (Viscozyme L) was applied in a flour produced from whole overripe banana; then, the treated flour was used to elaborate a baked product. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the incorporation of an enzymatic treated overripe banana (Musa cavendishii) flour in the sensory evaluation of muffins and, to stablish if the consumption of this food produce an effect on glycaemic response against a control food. The enzyme application produces an increment of 52% of antioxidant activity with a value of 12,791.6 lmolTE/100 g, and a presence of 4.5% RS instead 3.5% in non-treated flour. The sensory evaluation study was conducted with 4 products, using an untrained panel; selecting a muffin with 50% of wheat flour replaced with the banana treated one. This one contains 9.49% of dietary fibre. The glycaemic response study was conducted with 20 healthy volunteers, using as control a 100% wheat flour product, non-observing significant differences between both products. This work contributes to the knowledge about the potential use of a food discard as an ingredient of a food of massive consumption.

“…Techno-economic assessments can be used to examine the commercial feasibility of converting laboratory prototypes into industrial-scale production. [117][118][119] Banana peels are an effective heavy metals absorbent when tested using atomic absorption spectrophotometry. 13 Banana peels in the form of activated carbon, banana skin powder, and fiber-based biocomposites can be used as structural improvement compounds in cementitious materials such as clay, Portland cement, and lightweight foam concrete, as well as in 3D printing materials such as polylactic acid (PLA) plastic or carbon nanotubes for high-performance energy storage and supercapacitors.…”
Section: Potential Viability Of Waste Banana Peels As Building Constrmentioning
“…Annually, the European Union produces around 89 M ton of agroindustrial byproducts, with disposal costs ranging from $28 to $60 for 1 ton of solid waste . For many years, the waste from the agrofood industries ended up in landfills, incinerated, or as fertilizers, causing several environmental issues.…”
Extraction of bioactive molecules has become a major trend in the valorization of food and agroindustrial byproducts, allowing a sustainable production of novel ingredients with different industrial applications. Enzymatic and enzyme-assisted extraction eco-friendly methods could be used to extract value-added compounds from lignocellulosic plant byproducts with interesting biological properties, namely, polysaccharides and polyphenols. Nevertheless, a deep understanding of their enzymatic hydrolytic properties as well as the interactions with the plant cell material is necessary to obtain better extracts with high yields. Therefore, this review focuses on enzymatic treatment of food lignocellulosic byproducts in order to recover bioactive compounds such as polysaccharides and polyphenols.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
