摘要

The banana industry produces substantial biomass and waste, which can be transformed into high-value products through biorefineries. Components like banana peels and unsold ripe fruits are valuable raw materials for recovering functional ingredients. Banana peels, in particular, are rich in protein and fiber, with nutritional value varying by maturity and variety. Although research shows the potential of banana peels as a protein source and explores extraction methods, further studies are needed to understand their properties, applications, and fully understand their economic feasibility. This review categorizes banana biomass types, focusing on bioactive compounds in banana peels with pharmaceutical potential. It systematically evaluates protein isolation methods based on efficiency, scalability, and purity, and assesses the pharmacological properties of bioactive proteins, including their antimicrobial, antioxidant, and antihypertensive effects. The review also offers evidence-based recommendations for developing pharmaceutical products from these compounds, addressing challenges and future research directions.
