The present study of the investigation was carrying out by evaluation of the in vitro antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity of Banana peel. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by the Protein denaturation method. Radial scavenging activity and Hydrogen peroxide scavenging activity assay was used to evaluate the antioxidant potential.Phytochemical tests of ethanol extract of Banana peel showed the presence of flavonoids, alkaloids, steroids, glycosides, saponins, phenols, tannins, carbohydrates and proteins. Total flavonoid and phenol content of ethanol extract of banana peel were found to be 138.7 & 149.9 µg/ml respectively. In the case of anti-inflammatory activity, the maximum percentage inhibition was observed as 78.22% at 500 µg/ml concentration. The maximum percentage inhibition by radial scavenging activity assay and hydrogen peroxide scavenger assay was observed as 94.15% and 92.13% respectively at 500 µg/ml concentration for antioxidant activity.Present results highlight the role of ethanol extract of Banana peel for its anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
