APLIKASI KULIT PISANG MENJADI TEPUNG: AKTIFITAS ANTIOKSIDAN TEPUNG KULIT PISANG MUSA SAPIENTUM
ABSTRACT Banana peel is a fruit rich in carbohydrates and starch so that it can be processed into flour. Musa sapientum banana is one type of banana whose peel is suitable for flour. This study aims to study the application of banana peel on the manufacture of banana peel flour and analyze the antioxidant activity in banana peel flour. The research method used in the manufacture of banana peel flour is drying with oven, grinding, and homogenizing grain size. After that, the research method continued with analysis of antioxidant activity on banana peel flour. The analysis was conducted by UGM laboratory technology and agricultural laboratory experts. The results show that banana peel can be processed into flour with antioxidant activity of banana peel flour of Musa sapientum is 61,26 The result of this research is quite relevant with result of research of Fatemeh (2012), Supriyanti et al (2015) and Robello et. al (2014). The conclusion of this study is banana peel flour Musa sapientum this research has antioxidant activity of 61.26%.
