This study aims to evaluate and compare the nutritional, mineral, and phytochemical characteristics of dried banana inflorescence powder from different Musa cultivars.
Assessment of nutritional and mineral composition of dried banana inflorescence powder from four cultivars.
Comparison of polyphenolic profiles to identify cultivar-dependent variations.
Statistical analysis to determine significance (p<0.05) across cultivars.
Grande Nain exhibited the highest crude fat (5.41%), ash (4.10%), total dietary fibre (27.91%), and carbohydrate content (18.18%).
Kanchi Kela recorded the highest crude protein content (14.05%).
Gandevi Selection contained the highest levels of extractable polyphenols (4.38%), hydrolysable polyphenols (0.93%), and non-extractable proanthocyanidins (7.18%).
