Abstract :Normal 0 21 false false false TR X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 The extraction of fructo-oligosaccharides from banana peels was aimed in this study. Experimental parameters were particle size, solvent type, temperature insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(40-600C); and time insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(10-210 minutes);. 30% of yield was obtained when optimum sized peels insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(2*7*10 mm); were extracted with pure acetone at relatively low temperature insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(500C); during 90 minutes. Total fructo-oligosaccharide content was found nearly 33% of the sugar components of the extracts, and nystose was absent. The degree of polymerization was lower than those of other fructooligosaccharide containing plants insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(<6);. It was concluded that GRAS-statued fructo-oligosaccharides can be produced from a solid waste, a banana peel. Keywords: Fructo-oligosaccharide, banana peel, extraction
