Banana Peel Powder
Part of our Herbs range, manufactured and exported by Arizone International LLP.
Banana Peel Powder is made by drying and milling the peels of bananas, a part of the fruit that is usually thrown away. The peel is actually rich in dietary fibre, potassium and natural polyphenols, and its powder is finding new uses in foods, cosmetics, animal feed and organic fertilisers.
Arizone International supplies Banana Peel Powder for food and fibre ingredient makers, cosmetic brands, feed and fertiliser producers, wholesalers and exporters.
Turning Waste Into Value
India is the world's largest banana producer, with large growing areas in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra (especially Jalgaon), Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala. Banana chips, flour, puree and fruit processing units produce huge volumes of peel every day. Peel makes up roughly a third of the fruit's weight. Drying and milling it into powder reduces waste and creates a useful ingredient, which fits well with sustainability and upcycled food trends.
Peels from green (unripe) bananas and ripe bananas give powders with slightly different properties. Green peel powder is higher in starch and fibre, while ripe peel powder is sweeter and darker.
What Banana Peel Contains
- Dietary FibreIncluding pectin, cellulose and hemicellulose, making up a large share of the dry peel.
- PotassiumThe peel is naturally rich in potassium and other minerals.
- Polyphenols and CarotenoidsNatural antioxidants, including catechins and lutein.
- Starch and ProteinPresent in varying amounts, higher in green peels.
Applications
- Fibre ingredient in bakery, biscuits, pasta and snacks
- Upcycled food products and gluten-free flour blends
- Face packs, scrubs and natural skincare products
- Natural hair masks
- Organic potassium-rich fertilisers and plant tonics
- Animal feed ingredient
- Raw material for pectin and other extracts
In home gardening, dried banana peel powder is popular as a natural source of potassium for flowering plants, roses and tomatoes. In cosmetics, it is used in face masks for a soft, smooth feel.
Processing and Food Safety
Because banana peels are the outer layer of the fruit, they can carry pesticide residues from farming and post-harvest treatment. For food and cosmetic grades, we source peels from reliable processing units, wash them thoroughly, dry them under controlled conditions and test for pesticide residues and microbiology. Grades for fertiliser use have different specifications.
Quality Parameters
- Peel source (green or ripe) and processing method
- Moisture, ash and fibre content
- Colour and particle size
- Pesticide residues and heavy metals
- Microbiology for food and cosmetic grades
Packaging and Storage
Banana Peel Powder is packed in poly-lined bags, typically 20 kg to 25 kg. Store sealed in a cool, dry place, as the fibre-rich powder absorbs moisture.
Tips for Buyers and Formulators
Banana peel powder is mostly used in hair and skin care. Ask for microbiology results and store it dry.
