Antibacterial and phytochemical analysis of Banana fruit peel
Open accessAbstract
The in vitro antibacterial activity of ethanolic and aqueous extract of banana (Musa sapientum) peels was investigated on both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria using agar well diffusion technique .The ethanolic extract of the peels had MIC values ranging from 16mg/ml to 512.5mg/ml.The least MIC was 16mg/ml against Salmonella typhi while Bacillus subtilis and Staphylococcus aureus showed the highest MIC of 512.5 mg/ml.In the aqueous extract the MIC ranged between 512.5mg/ml to >1025mg/ml.Salmonella typhi, Micrococcus luteus and Staphylococcus aureus were not inhibited by the water extract.Phytochemical result showed ethanol to be a better solvent for the extraction of the bioactive agents in banana peels which include: glycosides, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, flavonoids and volatile oil.

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.
