Na values increased in the samples with added green banana fibre. The addition of green banana peel flour increased significantly the Na content of ice creams compared to the other samples. Sample A2 had the highest Zn content (201.5 mg/kg). It was stated by Wu et al. that Zn can take some vital roles by serving as a nonenzymatic antioxidant and protecting cells from oxidative damage. Even if green banana flour contains small doses of Fe, Zn, Ni and Mn, which can contribute to the antioxidant activity of fruit (59), its addition to the ice cream seems to have increased significantly the contents of Fe, Zn and Mn
