Antioxidants found in food, such as adaptogens, polyphenols, vitamins A, C, D, E, and anthocyanins, and slow down the aging process by reducing the reactive oxygen species (ROS) production in cells. Research is being done on the antioxidative qualities of many plants and plant extracts. Naturally occurring antioxidants, polyphenols are essential in preventing oxidative stress brought on by the body's free radicals. This study examined the peel extract of Musa balbisiana for its total phenolic, total flavonoid, and antioxidant properties. Peels from bananas constitute a substantial agro-industrial waste. Polyphenols from this waste could be
extracted and used to produce future anti-aging formulations.
