| Abstract: | Banana serves as an ideal and low cost food source for
developing countries where most of the population rely mostly on
bananas for food. Banana plant parts are useful as
insecticide, antioxidant, colour absorber, in preparation of various functional
foods, wine, alcohol, biogas, cattle feed etc. This
review discusses usefulness of banana fruits, peel, leaves, pseudostem, sheath,
pith and male bud, and prospects of using these materials
in industry. |
