What is inside shoe polish that is also in a banana peel?

Question

I might be able to use this as our investigatory project if someone can give me the answers. THANKS :)

Answer 1

I know that banana leaves contain wax. The banana peel may have contain some wax. And the main ingredients for a shoe polish is wax. but the two wax may not be of the same wax type. I have tried it once using the banana peel to give a shine on my old shoes and it worked well.
So if you can devise a way to check for the trace of wax on a banana peel, you might be able to use it for your project. I hope my answer helps. Cheers.
