Description
Patients with obesity often fail to control their body weight through diet and physical activity, while the
existing anti-obesity drugs have some side effects for long-term use. Banana is Indonesia's tropical fruits
with the highest production, and the banana peel has become soil waste. This study aimed to analyze
nutrients and active compounds of methanol extracts of raja and kepok banana peels (ERP and EKP
respectively). Macro and micro-nutrient compositions of the ERP and EKP were determined using the
proximate analysis, while Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) was used to detect the ERP and EKP active
compounds. The ERP contained 0.11% crude fibers, 4.44% fat, and 58.08% carbohydrates, different from
the EKP (4.25% protein, 20.95% water, and 14.45% minerals). By contrast, both the ERP and EKP
contained flavonoids, phenols, tannins, alkaloids, and saponins. In conclusion, ERP is potentially developed
as a nutraceutical for obesity treatment in the future. Further study is needed to measure specific fat levels
and to analyze specific active compounds in the ERP which can modulate gene expression and interact with
protein targets in lipid metabolism.
