Carbohydrates, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity in pulp and peel of 15 banana cultivars
Open accessAbstract
ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to quantify and compare the levels of carbohydrates and phenolic compounds and the antioxidant activity in the pulp and peel of 15 banana cultivars in two ripening stages. Four bunches per cultivar were harvested in the pre-climacteric stage, six fruits were used by sample unit. Fruits were analyzed in the pre-climacteric stage and after ripening. Total, reducing and non-reducing soluble sugars, starch, phenolic compounds and antioxidant activity were evaluated. Cultivar and ripening stage influenced all characteristics analyzed. Unripe pulp and peel had small percentage of sugar, but high percentage of starch, especially ‘Terrinha’ and ‘Marmelo’ cultivars. AAB and ABB cultivars presented the highest percentages of starch, when compared to AA and AAA cultivars. For the phenolic compounds, the highest content was observed in ripe peel, followed by ripe pulp and unripe peel and pulp, highlighting ‘Terrinha’ cultivar in all parts and stages evaluated. The antioxidant potential was higher in ripe peel, followed by unripe peel, ripe and unripe pulp. Fruits of Terrinha, Marmelo, Maçã, Ouro and Caru-Verde cultivars showed the highest carbohydrate contents, and phenolic compounds or antioxidant activity, justifying future actions in the expansion of planting and consumption of these fruits.

Banana epoxy composite was capable of withstanding stress in the x-direction up to 14.14 MN/m2 and in the y-direction up to 3.398 MN/m2; Young's modulus values were 0.976 GN/m2 and 0.863 GN/m2 for the x and y-directions; max load to bend the composite beam by 0.5 mm was 36.25 N.
“The banana epoxy composite was capable of withstanding stress in the x -direction up to 14.14 MN/m 2 and in the y -direction up to 3.398 MN/m 2 . Considering the Young's modulus, the obtained values were 0.976 GN/m 2 and 0.863 GN/m 2 for the x and y -directions, respectively. To bend the composite beam by 0.5 mm, the maximum required load was 36.25 N considering the three-point bend test.”
From Potential Valorization of Banana Production Waste in Developing Countries: Bio-Engineering Aspects (2024) · cites this paper as [12]
The Materials and Methods passage describes phenolic-content and antioxidant assays on banana pulp and peel, not tests of banana–epoxy composites (page unavailable). Searches for the stated stress and Young’s modulus values and for the three-point bend test found no passage reporting those measurements. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
