| Abstract Scope |
This study aimed to characterize a green banana peel in relation to the amount of tannins in different extracts for the preparation of a biomaterial. Three extracts were used: by decoction, by reflux and with the powder of the banana peel. The extracts were filtered and the total tannin content was determined by the colorimeter method using the Folin-Ciocalteau reagent. The sample was mixed with the reagent, let the reaction and made a reading at 726nm in a spectrophotometer. It was based on a standard curve and then prepared aqueous solutions at concentrations of 1 to 9 mg/L. The highest amount of tannins was found in the extract prepared by decoction followed by the extract made by the reflux. The methods of extraction a warm were the most effective for extraction of tannins and in a way that can be used in the preparation of a biomaterial. |
