Overview

This study demonstrates extraction methods for high-value bioactive compounds from banana bracts, highlighting environmental benefits.

Key Points

  • SFE with CO₂ achieved the highest recovery of essential fatty acids and carotenoids, enhancing the value of banana bracts.
  • Polar compounds yielded the greatest extraction yield (53.09%) and antioxidant capacities, indicating high potential for food and health applications.
  • Microwave-assisted extraction demonstrated superior efficiency for recovering bioactive compounds and improved overall extraction quality.
  • The study emphasizes sustainable extraction techniques, indicating the environmental advantages of methods like SFE and MAE over traditional methods.
