In general, waste in the form of banana peels is only used as animal feed or disposed of without further processing so that it can cause environmental pollution. For this reason, it is necessary to manage banana peels so that they have a higher economic value. Banana peel contains alkaloids, flavonoids, phenols, tannins and saponins. This Saponin will produce foam so that it can be used as a washing agent and can also be used as a kitchen equipment cleaner.
