Banana is an important fruit grown and consumed in tropics and sub tropic regions. It is the edible fruit usually seedless which can be grown in any climatic condition. It is rich in carbohydrates, fat, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. A comparative study between 10 different Musa sp. in Kerala was conducted to study the various morphological characteristics. Each of the banana plant differ from each other on the basics of its height, length, colour, pseudostem, leaf, flower bud and fruit. The nutritional components such as moisture, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract and total ash of pseudostem and leaf of selected varieties of Musa were analysed. For this pseudostem and leaf of 4 different varieties were selected and tested. The test was based on the AOAC method. The result shows that the crude fibre content of pseudostem and leaf is high with certain nutritive value.
Morphological, molecular and biochemical characterization of selected banana varieties in Kerala and evaluation of their anticancer activities: an overview
Banana is one of the most important food crops all over the world. There are around 365 varieties of bananas available throughout the world. Banana is a traditional medicine for diabetes, cancer, diarrhoea and also highly nutritional food crop. In this study, commonly used varieties of banana are taken for characterization by morphology and genotype which is based on International Plant Genetic Resources Institute and RAPD analysis. Five varieties were morphologically similar in parameters such as leaf habit, pseudo stem appearance and peel color. RAPD analysis proved that these varieties of banana are closely related which coincides with the morphological characterization. Also, this study is aimed at examining the anticancer activity of Musa acuminata variety of banana which is commonly consumed in southern part of India. Anticancer examination of the sample was performed for the hexane extract using DLA and MG-63 cell lines which showed a high degree of anticancer activity which was proved by the cytotoxic effect on the tumor cell lines. Phytochemicals present in the plant concentrate provoked cell apoptosis and smoother cell expansion to quickly partitioning malignancy cell lines. Among the five varieties analysed, Musa accuminata Colla variety shows increased level of anticancer activity in both cell lines. So it is anticipated that this variety can be used as medicine orally for cancer treatment.

Banana (Musa) is a fruit bearing plant belongs to the Musaceae family and mainly cultivated fir it’s fruit, which is used as a nutritionally rich food item. The banana male bud is also used as a food item due to its high nutritional content. The different banana variety are found which differ in size, shape, appearance, fruit, nutritional value etc. The banana is mainly used as a food item in major part of the world. The value added products can be developed from the fruit. Because of the high protein, fibre, and vitamin content the bananas are widely used The morphological analysis of different variety help us to understand the difference between the 25 varieties in terms of size, shape, appearance and other internal features. The nutritional analysis of the banana male flower includes the proximate composition includes the estimation of dry matter, moister content, estimation of crude protein, estimation of crude fibre, estimation of crude ash and insoluble ash, ether extract and gross energy analysis. From the proximate analysis, we identified that the Palayamkudan male flower contain a huge deposit of crude fibre and crude protein in it. The sample of Nyalipoovan male flower have comparatively low crude fibre content, the gross energy is high in the Nyalipoovan sample.
