Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAntibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Banana (Musa, AAA cv. Cavendish) Fruits PeelMatook Saif Mokbel, Fumio HashinagaThe fresh green and yellow banana peel of, (Musa, cv. Cavendish) fruits were treated with 70% acetone, which were partitioned with chloroform (CHCl3) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc), sequentially. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated by using the thiocyanate method, β-carotene bleaching method and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical elimination. While, antimicrobial activities of the extracts and isolated components were … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 1, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2005 · 16,037 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleFusarium Wilt of Banana: Challenges and ResilienceShanta Adhikary, Mridula Rahman, Mrinmoy Kundu et al.Banana, as the world's most consumed fruits, are an essential staple crop for nearly 400 million people, boasting a plethora of nutrients crucial for digestive health, gut microbiome balance, and post-exercise recovery. Despite their nutritional significance, the emergence of Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. cubense (Foc), threatens banana cultivation worldwide. This soil-borne fungus exhibits polycyclic behavior, persisting in … …OnLine Journal of Biological Sciences, Vol. 24, Issue 4 · 6 Jul 2024 · 6,547 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleUtilization of Banana, Pineapple and Watermelon Wastes-Substrate: As Consortiums to Remediating Cyanide Polluted SoilFlorence Obiageli Nduka, Samuel Chibuike Ubani, Victor Eshu Okpashi et al.The act of processing cassava for varied food products has come with unguided and wide-spread contamination of cyanide in the environment. The need for effective reduction in cost to enable remediation of cyanide-contaminated sites from cassava mill factories is the purpose of this investigation. This involves bio-stimulation of organic wastes with indigenous microorganisms to degrade cyanide. The application of organic … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 30 Apr 2018 · 9,930 accessesView PDFCite

Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleMolecular Characterization of Fusarium Oxysporum F. Sp. Cubense of BananaS. K. Leong, Z. Latiffah, S. BaharuddinProblem statement: Morphological characterization of Fusarium species which emphasize on microscopic and cultural characteristics are not sufficient to characterize Fusarium Oxysporum F. sp. Cubense (FOC) from banana as these characteristics could easily influence by environmental factors. As an alternative molecular methods were used to characterize and to assess genetic variation of FOC from different banana cultivars.
