“…In the production of the green banana product, traditionally stage 1 of banana maturation is used since it presents high antioxidant compounds, high starch, and low sugar contents. These characteristics are essential to promote health benefits that could lead GB as functional food characterization [38,70]. Only the study performed by Eleazu et al [55] presented the amount of phenolic compounds (7.5 mg GAE/g), since most of the benefits attributed to green banana products consumption are associated with its RS content [28], justifying the few numbers of the studies evaluating the phenolic compounds in the potential health benefits.…”

“…Therefore, studies have been using different GB derivate products such as flour [31,32], and green banana biomass (GBB) [33,34,35]. Despite the growing worldwide demand for GB products [35,36,37,38], there is no review study regarding the potential health benefits of GB and its derivatives. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the health benefits among different GB derivate products by a systematic review.…”

Despite the growing demand for green banana (GB) products, there is no review study regarding their potential health benefits. We aimed to compare the health benefits among different GB products by a systematic review. We researched six electronic databases (PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, Science Direct, Web of Science, and Google Scholar) from inception to March 2019. We found 1009 articles in these databases. After duplicate removal, we screened 732 articles’ titles and abstracts, and selected 18 potentially relevant studies for full-text reading. We added five records from the reference list of the fully-read articles and seven suggested by the expert. Twelve articles were excluded. In the end, 18 studies were considered for this systematic review. Ten studies were conducted with green banana flour and eight with the green banana pulp/biomass. Most of the GB health benefits studied were related to the gastrointestinal symptoms/diseases, followed by the glycemic/insulin metabolism, weight control, and renal and liver complications associated to diabetes. Only one study did not confirm the health benefit proposed. It is necessary to standardize the GB dose/effect to different age groups and different health effects considering the GB variety and ripeness level. Further studies are necessary to present better detailing of GB product and their health effects considering all the raw-material characteristics.

“…Electrodermal response (EDR) is a complex reactNew alternative and effective anti-bacterial agents are required for common bacterial infections linked to acne, oral disease, skin infections and other general infections. As such, resveratrol, honey, pomegranate, garlic, essential oils and cinnamon have been shown to pose anti-bacterial properties [39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. In addition, plant based products with high polyphenol content have been shown to prevent the growth of some common bacteria.…”

Plants that are primarily used as a food source commonly have undervalued biological properties beyond the basic supply of nutrients. One important example of this are the antimicrobial properties of plants. Inclusion of natural and food grade antimicrobial ingredients in recipes to prevent food spoilage and disease transmission, or in cosmetic products to prevent transient and pathogenic bacteria would have world-wide public health implications. A patented natural polyphenol rich sugar cane extract (PRSE), is marketed as a high anti-oxidant and polyphenol ingredient, but its anti-microbial activity has not been reported previously. We determined the anti-bacterial properties of PRSE on common human pathogens relating to a range of diseases including food poisoning, tooth decay, acne and severe skin infections using disc/well diffusion experiments. Our findings indicate that PRSE is an efficient antimicrobial, which could be included at differing dosages to target a range of food borne and environmental pathogens.

“…Salah satu parameter fertilitas yang dilaporkan mengalami peningkatan signifikan pasca pemberian tepung buah pisang atau ekstrak buah pisang adalah konsentrasi spermatozoa. 12,13,16 Beberapa hipotesis telah diajukan oleh peneliti-peneliti untuk menjelaskan bagaimana buah pisang raja dapat memberikan efek positif terhadap parameter fertilitas tersebut. 12,13 Hasil penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa nilai rerata konsentrasi spermatozoa semua kelompok berada di bawah nilai normal konsentrasi spermatozoa tikus yaitu 153-156 juta spermatozoa/ml.…”

Kandungan quarcetin buah pisang raja (Musa paradisiaca L.) sangat tiggi bila dibanding buah lain dan memiliki kemampuan antioksidan yang sangat kuat. Stres oksidatif ditengarai menjadi penyebab dari kondisi infertilitas idiopatik pada pria. Nikotin merupakan sumber radikal bebas eksogen bagi pria perokok yang dapat mengakibatkan stres oksidatif pada testis dan epididimis. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh tepung buah pisang raja terhadap konsentrasi spermatozoa tikus wistar jantan yang terpapar nikotin. Dua puluh empat ekor tikus wistar jantan dibagi menjadi 4 kelompok (3 kelompok perlakuan dan 1 kelompok kontrol). Semua kelompok diberi nikotin 1,0 mg/KgBB peroral selama 30 hari. Kelompok 1, 2, dan 3 masing-masing diberikan tepung buah pisang dengan dosis 125 mg/KgBB, 250 mg/KgBB, dan 500 mg/KgBB, sedangkan kelompok 4 diberi placebo (kontrol negatif) selama 30 hari. Pada hari ke-31 akan dilakukan pengangkatan testis dan epididimis dan dilakukan penghitungan konsentrasi spermatozoa. Analisis one way anova terhadap ata konsentrasi spermatozoa menunjukkan adanya perbedaan bermakna di dalam dan antar kelompok (p<0,05). Uji post hoc bonferroni memperlihatkan bahwa terdapat perbedaan bermakna antara semua kelompok perlakuan dengan kelompok kontrol untuk data konsentrasi spermatozoa (p<0,05) tetapi tidak memperlihatkan perbedaan bermakna di antara kelompok perlakuan. Peneliti menyimpulkan bahwa tepung buah pisang raja mempunyai efek positif terhadap peningkatan konsentrasi spermatozoa.
