Background: Musa acuminata is found to contain flavonoids, tannins, phlobatannins, alkaloids, glycosides, and terpenoids in their peels. Numerous biological and pharmacological effects (antibacterial, antihypertensive, antidiabetic, and anti-inflammatory activities) of these phytochemicals have been reported. Therefore, the presence of these bioactive substances in banana peels implies that the peels have valuable medicinal potential that has not yet been investigated since the majority of a plant's medicinal qualities are attributed to its bioactive compounds.
