“…Though the number of hands and fingers per bunch was medium in NRCB 8, Kovvur Bontha, Bhoodibale, Popoulu and Monthan, bunch yield was found to be higher because of relatively higher finger size and weight. The results obtained in the present study with respect to variation in yield and yield attributes are in similar lines with the findings of Rajmanickam and Rajmohan (2010) [20] , Tushemereirwe et al (2014) [29] , Kumar et al (2014) [12] , Reynoso et al (2014) [22] , Martinez et al (2015) [15] , Ssali et al (2016) [26] , Tumuhimbise et al (2016) [28] , Nayak et al (2020) [16] , Joseph and Simi (2020) [10] , Jena et al (2020) [9] , Eshbel et al (2022) [4] in similar and other banana genotypes.…”

Most research efforts in India have focused on table bananas belonging to the AAA genetic group and not much research has been done on the ABB and AAB genotypes with respect to postharvest quality parameters in India. In this background, the performance of sixteen banana genotypes belonging to ABB genomic group and two genotypes belonging to AAB genomic group were evaluated for bunch traits and postharvest quality attributes. The experiment was laid out in a complete randomized block design with three replications. The genotypes displayed significant variations in bunch yield and postharvest quality attributes. The bunch weight varied from 12.00 kg/plant in Nendran to 28.50 kg/ plant in NRCB-8. The genotype Popoulu recorded higher finger weight (417.00 g). With respect to postharvest attributes, the pulp weight of the fruit ranged from 54.33 to 292.33 g in Karibale and Popoulu respectively. Popoulu and Dakshin Sagar recorded maximum and minimum pulp to peel ratios respectively. The peel thickness Ranged from 1.65 to 3.27 mm. Fruit firmness was higher in Monthan (21.09 kg/cm 2 ) at harvest while Nendran registered better firmness at ripened stage. Shelf-life of ripened fruits ranged between 3.44 to 6.00 days and Nendran recorded the longest shelf-life. Significantly the highest TSS content of 27.33 0 Brix was recorded in Karpooravalli. Total sugars and titratable acidity varied from 13.87 to 24.37 and 0.30 to 0.97 percent respectively. Sugar acid ratio ranged from 16.64 to 74.96 with a coefficient of variation of 49.08 percent. The reducing and non-reducing sugar content differed significantly and ranged from 12.06 to 22.18 and 1.34 to 2.51 percent respectively. Significant variation witnessed among the genotypes indicated a huge potential for selection among the genotypes for breeding programs.

Crocus sativus L. has been used as spice, food colouring and medicinal plant for thousands of years. In this study, antioxidant properties and cytotoxic effect of saffron extract were evaluated in HT-22 cell lines. Malignant and non-malignant cells (L929) were cultured in DMEM medium and incubated with different concentrations of saffron extract in different solvents (water, ethanol, ethyl-acetate, n-hexane). Cell viability was determined by MTT assay. Antioxidant parameters such as DPPH, FRAP, total polyphenol and flavonoid amounts were measured. The highest DPPH value was found as 15.90±0.12 µg/mL in ethyl acetate solvent. Total polyphenols were 89.06±0.02 mg GAE/g extract, flavonoids were 76.98±2.08 µg QE/g extract and FRAP was 67.93±0.98 mg/g extract in ethanol solvent. In colon cancer, IC50 value 94±1.37 µg/mL was found to be the highest value. This is thought to be due to the high antioxidant capacity in ethanol solvent. While antioxidant capacity was not found to be high, antiproliferation effect was found to be high. Saffron may also be considered as a promising chemotherapeutic agent in cancer treatment in the future.

Background: Banana inflorescence is one of the edible parts of banana. It is well-known to have antioxidants and anti-diabetic potential health benefits. Methods: In this study, the banana inflorescence from Musa (ABB group) Namwa Mali-Ong was prepared using ethanol extraction and investigated for its biochemical compositions and biological activities. The 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) free radical scavenging, ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), and 2,2’-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) free radical scavenging activity assays were performed. The phytochemical composition of the extract was analyzed using the ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UHLC-ESI-QTOF/MS) technique. Additionally, the ability of the extract to stimulate glucose in C2C12 myotube was investigated. Results: The ethanolic extract of banana inflorescence contained carbohydrate, protein, phenolic, and flavonoid compounds. The results show that the extract exhibited low-level antioxidant activities. For example, the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) in the DPPH and ABTS assays was at 27.89 ± 0.054 and 21.33 ± 0.87 mg/mL, respectively. Although the extract possesses low-level antioxidant activities, it stimulated glucose uptake in C2C12 myotubes in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Consistently, the UHLC-ESI-QTOF/MS analysis in both positive and negative electrospray ionization modes reveals several components in the extract such as phytosphingosine and α-linolenic acid that have previously been shown to exhibit an anti-diabetic activity.Conclusion: The results show that the inflorescence ethanolic extract possesses antioxidant and anti-diabetic activities and may potentially be developed into a health-promoting product such as an anti-diabetic drug. Keywords: antioxidant activity; banana inflorescence; glucose uptake; anti-diabetic; C2C12 myotubes
