Abstract

In this work, the antioxidants of the two varieties of bananas viz. dominico (Musa sapientum L.) and maqueño (Musa balbisiana L.) were evaluated. Three factors were considered before the determination of antioxidant activity i.e. variety of banana, type of antioxidant and amount of antioxidant. The same conditions were also considered for citric acid and ascorbic acid in the amounts of 13, 15 and 17 mg/Kg; evaluated in the 36 experimental units. According to the obtained results, the best type of antioxidant is citric acid, which indicated that the T5 treatment is the one that presents the best results in the processed products. In addition, in this treatment a lower amount of antioxidant is used at a rate of 15 mg/Kg. It was established that they were complied with the minimum parameters established in the Codex Standard for Bananas (Plantain) Codex Stan 205-1997. The studied bananas were also complied with the microbiological parameters as established in the Ecuadorian technical standard NT INEN 1529-10. The definitive can be established that this product is fit for human consumption.
