Jyotsna S. Waghmare and Ankeeta H. Kurhade

Banana belongs to the family of Musaceae and scientifically known as Musa Sapientum. The present study was carried out to determine the possible bioactive components from ethanolic extract of banana peel using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Eight compounds were identified which included estragole (11.18%), hexadecanoic acid ethyl ester (9.76%), epicatechin (9.97%), gallocatechin (8.58%), p-coumaric acid ethyl ester(4.2%) , 1,2 benzenedicarboxylic acid mono (2-ethylhexyl) ester (13.47%) , beta-tocopherol (11.37%) and vitamin E (31.35%).
