Abstract

Banana stem (BS) waste is obtained in large quantities in banana production. In this work, microwave extraction (MAE) from BS was used, and the solvent concentration parameters were 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, 96% (v/v) ethanol, and 5% HCl with a sample weight of 10 g each. The influence of solvent, time, temperature, and solid: the liquid ratio was evaluated on the extraction results. Total phenolic content (TPC) and its functional performance against Fusarium oxysporum. The effect of a high ethanol concentration on BS extraction was observed because the higher ethanol solvent concentration resulted in higher extraction results and TPC. Optimal MAE conditions were determined at 200 watts for 20 minutes, with 80% ethanol showing better TPC results than other ethanol concentrations, namely 0.7171 mg g-1. The results of chemical content analysis using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of BS extract of 80% ethanol obtained phenolic compounds, carboxylic acids, aldehydes, esters, ketones, and furans. BS extract of 80% ethanol showed antifungal activity of Fusarium oxysporum with an apparent zone diameter of 9.7 mm (moderate category). It can be concluded that MAE is an efficient technique for releasing bioactive molecules from BS with TPC and antifungal applications in the agricultural industry.

Abstract

Pineapple production is mostly marketed as a processed product, resulting in large amounts of industrial waste consisting of pineapple peel, core and crown. This study evaluated organic solvents for microwave-assisted extraction (MAE) of phenolic compounds from pineapple peel and their total phenolic content and antibacterial activities. The application of microwave technology in phenolic extraction provides a fast extraction process and produces higher yields. In addition, organic solvent ethanol is considered an environmentally friendly solvent characterized by low toxicity and increased capacity to extract bioactive compounds. The solvent compositions are ethanol (80%), ethanol-HCl (80%-5%), and ethanol-NaOH (80%-5%). A higher phenolic compound was obtained using ethanol-HCl (80%-5%) of 2.68 mg eq GA/g DW. The results of the antibacterial activity test against Staphylococcus aureus was 19.00 mm and Escherichia coli was 19.31 mm. These results indicate that pineapple peel extract from ethanol-HCl solvent can be an effective antibacterial agent.
