In recent years, scientists' interest in agricultural waste has increased, and the waste has become attractive to explore and benefit from, rather than being neglected waste. Banana peels have attracted the attention of researchers due to their bioactive chemical components, so we focused on this review article on the antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of banana peels that can be used as good sources of natural antioxidants and for pharmaceutical purposes in treating various diseases. Banana is an edible fruit belonging to the genus (Musaceae), cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions. Banana peels are used as supplementary feed for livestock in their cultivation areas. Its massive by-products are an excellent source of high-value raw materials for other industries by recycling agricultural waste. Hence, the goal is to use banana by-products in various food and nonfood applications and sources of natural bioactive compounds. It can be concluded that banana peel can be successfully used in food, pharmaceutical, and other industries. Therefore, banana residues may provide new avenues and research areas for the future.
近年来，科学家们对农业废弃物的兴趣与日俱增，这种废弃物已变得值得探索并从中获益，而非被忽视的垃圾。香蕉皮因其生物活性化学成分而吸引了研究人员的关注，因此我们聚焦于这篇综述文章，探讨香蕉皮的抗氧化和抗菌活性，香蕉皮可用作天然抗氧化剂的优质来源，并用于治疗各种疾病的医药用途。香蕉是一种可食用水果，属于芭蕉属（芭蕉科），种植于热带和亚热带地区。在其种植区域，香蕉皮被用作牲畜的补充饲料。通过回收农业废弃物，其大量的副产品是其他行业高价值原材料的优质来源。因此，目标是将香蕉副产品用于各种食品和非食品应用以及天然生物活性化合物的来源。可以得出结论，香蕉皮可成功应用于食品、制药和其他行业。因此，香蕉残渣可能为未来提供新的途径和研究领域。
