Rendering banana plant residues into a potentially commercial byproduct by doping cellulose films with phenolic compounds

This study seeks to render residues from banana plants into a useful byproduct with possible applications in wound dressings and food packaging. Films based on cellulose extracted from banana plant pseudostem and doped with phenolic compounds extracted from banana plant leaves were developed. The ph...
