“…The Grande Naine cultivar recorded the highest (2.88 mg/100 g) concentration of iron (Fe), while Finger Rose recorded the lowest (1.50 mg/100 g). The concentration of Fe and Zn reported in the present study was lower than that reported by Ferreira et al [36] who reported an Fe concentration of between 8.15-33.72 mg/kg and a Zn concentration of 3.55-7.78 mg/kg for commercial as well as uncommercial unripe banana flour. The Fe concentration of GBF cultivars in this study were higher than that reported by Pessoa et al [37] (22.5-62.8 mg/kg) in GBF cultivars from Brazil.…”

This study aimed to investigate the proximate composition, mineral content, functional properties, molecular structure, in vitro starch digestibility, total phenolic content (TPC), total flavonoid content (TFC) and antioxidant activity (DPPH, FRAP) of green banana flour (GBF) cultivars grown in South Africa. With proximate composition, Finger Rose and Pisang Awak had the highest protein (4.33 g/100 g) and fat (0.85 g/100 g) content, respectively. The highest ash content (3.50 g/100 g) occurred with both Grand Naine and FHIA-01 cultivars. Potassium and copper were the most abundant and least minerals, respectively. Pisang Awak cultivar had the highest water absorption capacity (67.11%), while Du Roi had the highest swelling power (0.83 g/g) at 90 °C. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images revealed that starch granules from all GBF cultivars were irregular in shape and they had dense surfaces with debris. All the GBF cultivars had similar diffraction patterns with prominent peaks from 15°–24° diffraction angles. The resistant starch (RS) and amylose content of the FHIA-01 cultivar indicates that the GBF has the potential to lower risks of type 2 diabetes and obesity. The highest TPC, TFC and antioxidant activity occurred with the Grande Naine cultivar. Based on their functional characteristics, the Grand Naine and FHIA-01 GBF cultivars could potentially be used as raw materials for bakery products as well as for the fortification of snacks.

Asteracantha longifolia (L.) Nees. (AL) a small, spiny weed found in marshy places. It is reported for its "antitumor, hypoglycemic, aphrodisiac, antibacterial, free radical scavenging and lipid peroxidation, hepatoprotective activities" 3 . Accompanying its uses for a medicinal purpose the plant is also used as a leafy vegetable in some states of India. Hence study of mineral composition of Asteracantha longifolia (L.) Nees and its bioaccessibility is crucial along with studying phytoconstituents of this plant. Nutritional food value of the plant can be accessed by in-vitro gastrointestinal simulation in the form of Bioaccessible Fraction (BF). The bioaccessibility of minerals found in the plant is not investigated thoroughly, mainly in functional foods. Therefore, in this research work we have subjected shade-dried powdered material of AL to ICP-AES qualitative and quantitative analysis. The results revels presence of the essential elements like Calcium (Ca) at 814.5 ppm with %BF 96.5, Magnesium (Mg) at 169.2 ppm with %BF 102.8 and micronutrients like Iron (Fe) at 5.3 ppm with %BF of 25.0, Manganese (Mn) at 4.1 ppm with %BF 100.9 and Zinc (Zn) at 0.6 ppm with %BF 31.6. Successively based on the findings it is concluded that AL has good nutritional value.

“…It is reported that GBF may contain (52.7–54.2) g/100 g of RS and (6.3–15.5) g/100 g fiber on a dry basis ( 23 ). GBF is also a cheap source of phenolic compounds, flavonoids, minerals, and vitamins ( 24 ). In addition, GBF can act as an alternative to minimize banana wastes due to about one-fifth of bananas harvested is wasted and the discarded bananas are normally disposed of improperly ( 25 ).…”

Green banana flour (GBF) is rich in resistant starch that has been used as a prebiotic to exert beneficial effects on gut microbiota. In this study, GBF was evaluated for its capacity to restore gut microbiota and intestinal barrier integrity from antibiotics (Abx) perturbation by comparing it to natural recovery (NR) treatment. C57B/L 6 J mice were exposed to 3 mg ciprofloxacin and 3.5 mg metronidazole once a day for 2 weeks to induce gut microbiota dysbiosis model. Then, GBF intervention at the dose of 400 mg/kg body weight was conducted for 2 weeks. The results showed that mice treated with Abx displayed increased gut permeability and intestinal barrier disruption, which were restored more quickly with GBF than NR treatment by increasing the secretion of mucin. Moreover, GBF treatment enriched beneficial Bacteroidales S24-7, Lachnospiraceae, Bacteroidaceae, and Porphyromonadaceae that accelerated the imbalanced gut microbiota restoration to its original state. This study puts forward novel insights into the application of GBF as a functional food ingredient to repair gut microbiota from Abx perturbation.
