Banana (Musa acuminata), orange (Citrus reticulata), and watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) peels as prebiotic

Fruit waste is being studied as a non-conventional alternative source of nutritional and mineral content that might be employed as functional food ingredients. This study aims to identify the 1) proximate and mineral composition of banana, orange and watermelon waste powder subjected to different dr...
