Processing
The ripe peels were chopped into small pieces using clean knife
which was disinfected with 70% ethanol. The chopped pieces were
sun dried under mild sunlight and then milled in electric blender to
produce banana peel mash. About 300 g of the mash was washed
in sterile distilled water and filtered through two-layer cheese cloth
to obtain the primary extract. The primary extract was then filtered
through Whatman No.1 filter paper to obtain the experimental
filtrate, which was used for the preparation of modified banana peel
agar for the isolation of local yeast strains.
