“…Numerous studies have reported antimicrobial activity in Musa. The most common bacterial strains used for these tests were E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Shigella dysenteriae, B. cereus and S. aureus, although many reports use only a small number of these [19][20][21][22][23]33,34]. The present study includes most of these strains, in addition to several others.…”

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.

“…The banana fruits, as well as various other parts of the banana tree, find various uses in medicine, fiber making, religious rituals. The leaves are used by the tribals of the Western Ghats in India for bandaging cuts, blisters, and ulcers (SAHAA et al, 2013). Therefore, this plant can be used to increase the shelf-life of foods as well as prevent the oxidation process in food formulations.…”

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of banana leaf extract on the quality and shelf life of rainbow trout compared to plastic bags at freezing temperature for 40 days. For evaluating this propose, the antioxidant activity of banana leaf extract was assessed. In addition, the shelf life of fish filets was determined by measuring thiobarbituric acid (TBA) and pHof fish. The banana leaves extract showed the highest content of vitamin E (5.8 ± 0.61 mg /g) and carotenoids (12.8 ± 0.1 mg /g). The potential of Cu (II) reduction the extract was 1.76 ± 0.09. The magnitude of modification in TBA and pH of the packed fish with banana leaves were less than the control samples. The present study demonstrated that the use of banana leaf extract will retard lipid oxidation in fish. fillet during freezing storage that may due to its strong antioxidant properties.

The in vitro antioxidant activity, as well as the hydroglyceroalcoholic extracts main active components from mycelia of Pleurotus ostreatus and Coprinus comatus, were determined. The mycelium submitted for extraction was obtained by submerged cultivation in a bioreactor. The hydroglyceroalcoholic extracts, in particular, those of P. ostreatus PSI101109 and PQMZ91109 mycelium had a considerable antioxidant activity, and was compared to the overall constituent of flavonoids plus phenolic compounds. According to the extracts HPLC assessment, the key phenolic acid evident from the extracts was gentisic acid. The homogentisic, gallic and protocatechuic acids were also determined. Catechin was identified as well, except for C. comatus M8102 and P. ostreatus PBS281009 mycelia extracts. Since catechol and gentisic acid levels were high, respectively, there was a correlation with the absence of carotenoid compounds in hydroglyceroalcoholic extracts (P. ostreatus PSI101109). There is a correspondence between the hydroglyceroalcoholic extracts� key antioxidant activities with the catechin and polyphenolic acids levels identified in each extract.
