Despite the recent surge in demand for unripe banana products, there is a scarcity of literature regarding their potential health tendencies. This study investigated the various organic biomolecules, minerals and phytotherapeutic constituents in unripe M. sapientum pulp and peel extracts and their associated medicinal relevance. Hydromethanolic solvent (1:4 v/v) was used for extraction. Biochemical analysis of the various plant samples was done using standard laboratory protocols and separate detectors; GCMS and GCFID. Proximate and mineral analysis of unripe M. sapientum samples was compared to the corresponding ripe samples. The results showed the presence of functionally distinct predominant constituents in both studied unripe M. sapientum peel and pulp extracts, in which some of the constituents have several medicinal benefits. The study revealed the nutritional relevance of the unripe peel and pulp extract of M. sapientum
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
