| Abstract | Banana central core stem powder (CCSP) of seven varieties were studied to elucidate their functional, therapeutic properties and bioactive profiling. CCSP recorded whiteness index in the range of 75.80-80.78. Hauser-ratio (1.12-1.26), Carr-index (10.91-20.75) and aw (0.15-0.22) revealed good flowability and storage-life. A fair amount of insoluble dietary fiber (45.58-51.38 %) was observed in CCSP. Nendran and Rasthali varieties recorded higher antioxidant activities. CCSP registered higher amounts of minerals like potassium (571.84-978.22), calcium (110.65-180.55) and lower sodium (34.10-43.70). Aqueous methanolic extract of Nendran CCSP showed lesser viability of tumour cells (44.32 %) with the concentration of 500 mu g/mL and IC50 of 177 mu g/mL. After seven days of incubation, 5 % Nendran CCSP extract, resulted in higher (78.68 %) reduction of struvite formation. Steroids, terpene and acetate compounds were identified in addition to organic acids and aldehydes. Low sodium, higher dietary fiber and bioactive properties make banana CCSP a cheaper material to contemplate in food-processing and pharmaceutical industries. |
