Concentration (ml)
In an identical manner, the absorbance values of the non-organic banana decreased as
concentration increased. At 4 millilitres, the absorbance was marginally higher (0.021) than in
the organic sample, suggesting a somewhat reduced level of antioxidant activity at this
concentration.
Comparative Analysis
Comparative analysis revealed that the antioxidant activity trends in both samples were
comparable, with absorbance decreasing as concentration increased. However, over the
concentration range, the organic sample (Sample A) demonstrated a somewhat higher
antioxidant capacity; at 4 ml, in particular, it had a lower absorbance than the non-organic
sample (Sample B). This implies that, in the studied circumstances, the organic banana might
have somewhat stronger antioxidant qualities than the non-organic banana.
