“…The inhibitory effect of refrigeration accounts for the lower total microbial counts and slows the deteriorative rate with minimal nutrient loss in refrigerated samples as compared to those on shelf. The inability of the clove, guinea pepper and a combination of clove-guinea pepper extract to completely inhibit fungal and bacterial growth may be due to the low concentration of the extracts used, as high concentrations of plant extracts are required before antimicrobial properties are observed (Ritcher and Vore, 1989). Moreover it is observed that higher amounts of spices are necessary to inhibit microbial growth in food than in culture media (Shelef, 1983).…”

“…There are several reports on screening for antibacterial properties of specific local banana cultivars [16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. However, few compare a broad range of cultivars as we did.…”

“…To assess ethnomedicinal claims from banana, it is essential to study the antibacterial activity against relevant pathogens. Most previous studies of antimicrobial properties of banana pertain to a single popular cultivar, and often focus on the use of one plant part [16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. Therefore, we designed a study of the antimicrobial activity of different parts of selected banana cultivars against food-borne and clinically important pathogens, including Candida albicans biofilm.…”

Ten banana (Musa spp.) cultivars were studied for their antimicrobial properties. Three plant parts (corm, pseudostem and leaves) were collected separately and extracted with different solvents, viz., hexane, acetone, ethanol and water. The 50% inhibitory concentration (IC50) was evaluated using a broth microdilution assay. Eight human bacterial and one fungal pathogen were tested. Acetone and ethanol extract(s) often exhibited significant antimicrobial activity, while hexane extracts were less active. Aqueous extracts often showed microbial growth, possibly by endophytes. Leaf extracts were most active, followed by pseudostem, and corm was least active. All the tested banana cultivars were found to contain antimicrobials, as demonstrated by inhibition of selected human pathogens. However, cultivars such as Dole, Saba, Fougamou, Namwah Khom, Pelipita and Mbwazirume showed a broad-spectrum activity, inhibiting all tested pathogens. Other cultivars such as Petit Naine and Kluai Tiparot showed a narrow-spectrum activity, including antibiofilm activity against Candida albicans. Our results support the use of different parts of banana plants in traditional human medicine for infections, including diarrhea and dysentery, and some sexually transmitted diseases, as well as for packaging spoilable materials like food.

“…Musa species are having a number of valuable pharmacological activities such as ulcer protective activity, antibacterial activity, wound healing activity, antioxidant activity and mutagenic effect . Pharmacological investigations showed that banana fruits, stem juice and flowers are screened for antimicrobial activity and wound healing activity . Musa paradisiaca (plantain banana) was reported to have ulcer healing activity through its predominant effects on mucosal defensive factors promoting mucosal cell proliferation and enhanced DNA synthesis without any carcinogenic and mutagenic effect.…”

This study is designed to explore the phytochemical, antibacterial and wound healing activity of methanolic stem extract of Musa paradisiaca Linn. (Banana). The phytochemical analysis was performed for the methanolic stem extract of Musa paradisiaca Linn. Results indicates that the Musa paradisiaca Linn. was rich in glucosides, tannins and alkaloids, saponins, flavonoids and phenols were present in moderate quantities. The extract shows antibacterial activity against Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus with the zone of inhibition of Pseudomonas aeruginosa was 21 mm and Staphylococcus aureus was 19 mm at concentration of 500 µg/disc. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) was also evaluated for the extract. Wistar albino rats were selected for wound healing activity. The burn wound was created by using red hot steel rod from above the hind limb region. The methanolic extract was applied on the wound and the progressive changes were monitored every day. The wound contraction rate was absorbed based on the histopathological examination. It was concluded that the methanolic extract of Musa paradisiaca Linn. showed greater healing activity compared to control in Wistar albino rats.
