Abstract:

[Objectiv The aim is to study the extraction technology of melanin from banana peel, and discuss its stability. [Metho We used banana peel as raw material, the absorbance at 410 nm as the index, extracted melanin by base-acid method, and optimized the extraction technology by the single factor and orthogonal test. Then we discussed the melanins stability at different temperature, light source, pH value, metal ions, antioxidant and reducing agents.[Result The best extraction conditions of melanin is that, hydrochloric acid soak time 5 h, alkaline solution pH value 14, extracting time 20 min, extraction temperature 70 °C, absorbance value about 0.309 A. Melanin from banana peel is stable at high temperature, different light source irradiation, reducing agent coexist; but at room temperature, metal ions and oxidizing agent coexist, it is unstable. [Conclusio This study provided experimental basis for the optimization and development of melanin from banana peel.
