Jayapriya. R, Philomina Mary. P
Abstract :
Fruits are utilized by local people as the part of their meal. Peoples supposed to consume fruits and discard their
seed and peel as waste. The present study was carried out to enhance the utilization of the waste products from the
food processing industries. Fruit peels are the major by product of food processing industry. The fruit samples studied in our work were Punica gramatum (Pomegranate), Citrus sinensis (Sweet Orange) and Musa balbisiana (Banana). The fruit peels were collected from Thanjavur
district of Tamilnadu. The zone of inhibition is being studied for determination of antibacterial property of the fruit peel extracts and phytochemical analysis. In the present study the dried fruitlets epicarp was subjected for successive solvent extraction by using different solvents
like ethanol and water. MICs were tested at concentrations ranging from 0.08-1.28 mg/ml. This study was concluded that the ethanol extract
shows more significant activity then water extract.
