Article Synopsis
- Banana peel (BP) is a major waste from banana processing that can lead to environmental problems.
- This study analyzed BP's physical properties and found it rich in carbohydrates, pectin, hemicellulose, phenolic compounds, and antioxidant activity.
- Additionally, BP was shown to promote healthy gut bacteria growth and outperform regular sugar as a prebiotic, suggesting it could be a valuable source of dietary fiber and bioactive compounds for food and feed production.
