banana peel extract

Banana peel extract is a complex botanical preparation derived from the peels of bananas, primarily Musa acuminata and Musa paradisiaca. It is rich in bioactive compounds, including phenolic compounds (such as gallocatechin, chrysin, quercetin, catechin), flavonoids, tannins, anthocyanins, catecholamines, carotenoids (including β-carotene, α-carotene, lutein), sterols (β-sitosterol, stigmasterol), triterpenes, and various fatty acids and esters. Research indicates significant antioxidant and antimicrobial effects, as well as evidence for antidepressant-like and anticancer effects in preclinical studies. The mechanism of action is attributed to its free radical scavenging, phenolic and flavonoid content, and general bioactivity against oxidative stress and microbial cells[1][2][3][5].
