“…Though it is statistically non-significant, it might be due to the fact that banana fruit, especially M. paradisiaca . Linn regenerates the RBC by stimulating the production of haemoglobin [ 8 , 9 ]. The increase in packed cell volume% may be corresponding to the increased Hb% and RBC counts.…”

Background Food is the basic requirement and an essential part of all living beings which sustains life. A lot of emphasize has been given to food in the classics of Ayurveda and a detailed description of food which are both wholesome and unwholesome have been described. Viruddhahara (incompatible food) is a unique concept explained in Ayurveda which, in long run, may be harmful to the body. Objective(s) Intake of Kadaliphala ( Musa paradisiaca. Linn, a variety of banana) and cow milk is an example of Samyoga Viruddha (incompatibility with reference to combination of things). This combination is routinely consumed by people. The present study was planned to evaluate the toxicological implication of their combination on wistar rats. Materials and methods A subacute toxicity study was conducted on Wistar rats following the repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity study in rodents, 407 - OECD guidelines. Different haematological and biochemical parameters along with histopathology of important organs were carried out to assess the toxicological implication of the combination. Results Repeated administration of the combination of Kadaliphala (Banana) and cow milk showed statistically significant increase in SGOT & urea and statistically significant decrease in creatinine. Significant decrease was observed in the food intake, faecal wet weight and faecal water in the 7th day of study, food conversion ratio in the 14th day of study, in the food intake, faecal wet weight and faecal water in the 21st day of study and significant decrease in the food conversion ratio in the 28th day of study. In histopathological examination, the test drug administered group showed mild to moderate myocarditis in the sections from heart. In sections from liver of two rats of test group, diffused micro fatty changes were observed. In sections from spleen; mild to moderate increase in the white pulp portion was observed. Conclusion Marked variation in SGOT, urea and creatinine levels and alteration in sections of heart, liver and spleen are indicative of mild toxicological implications of the combination of banana and milk. Continuous intake of this incompatible combination may hence prove harmful to the body.

“…In control biscuits without the addition of legume flour, the possibility of containing phytic acid from the raw material, namely mocaf and banana that lower than legume flour. The phytic acid content of fermented cassava flour and ripe banana were 129.2 and 0.24 mg/100 g (Oboh and Elusiyan, 2007;Garcia et al, 2015). The highest iron absorption was MMF biscuit, while the lowest was MSF biscuit.…”

Weaning food biscuit based on mocaf (modified cassava flour) with substitution of soybean, mung bean and red kidney bean flour is expected increasing protein of the product. However, in the legumes flour there are anti-nutritional agent that can affect the absorption of other nutrient such as protein and iron. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the absorption of protein and iron from mocaf based-weaning food. Protein and iron absorption were determined from weaning food (biscuit) using Sprague-Dawley rats, 3 weeks old, weight 70-80 g for 0, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes. The treatments of this study were mocaf biscuits (as a control), biscuits with substitution of soybean flour (MSF), mung bean flour (MMF), red kidney bean flour (MRF) and commercial biscuits (CB). The highest protein absorption of control, MSF and MRF were at 120 minutes with absorption percentages 27.76, 38.94, and 9.35%, respectively. Samples MMF and CB had the highest protein absorption at 60 and 90 minutes, with absorption percentages 15.58 and 37.57%. Meanwhile, the highest iron absorption of control, MSF and MMF were at 90 minutes with absorption percentages 53.86, 4.71, and 54.29%. Samples MRF and CB had highest iron absorption at 60 minutes with absorption percentages 7.97 and 69.76%, respectively. The MSF sample had highest protein absorption than other samples. Meanwhile, the MMF sample had an iron absorption value that approached to commercial biscuit.

“…Adanya perbedaan kadar hemoglobin sebelum dan sesudah pemberian vitamin C dan pisang ambon pada kelompok I dan pemberian pisang ambon pada kelompok II membuktikan bahwa pisang ambon berpengaruh terhadap kadar hemoglobin pada subyek anemia. Penelitian terdahulu menyebutkan bahwa total penyerapan zat besi pada 100 g pisang matang sebesar 0.86 mg [18]. Kandungan zat besi pada pisang ambon berperan dalam produksi hemoglobin.…”

Iron deficiency anemia is an anemia due to iron deficiency which results in impaired hemoglobin synthesis. Young women are prone to anemia due to menstruation every month. Efforts to increase hemoglobin levels can be done by supplementing vitamin C and giving foods that are high in iron such as Ambon banana. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of vitamin C supplementation and Ambon banana on hemoglobin levels in anemia young women. Pretest posttest two groups design with 18 subjects each group. Subjects were anemic young women. Group I was given vitamin C supplemen and Ambon banana while group II was given Ambon banana. Treatment is given twice a day for 8 days. Hemoglobin level data was taken by taking blood at the fingertips. In group I there were differences in hemoglobin levels before and after vitamin C supplementation and Ambon banana (p = 0,000). In group II there were also differences in hemoglobin levels before and after administration of Ambon banana (p = 0.001). Group I had an increase in average hemoglobin level of 1.5 ± 1.0 g /dl while group II had an increase in average hemoglobin level of 1.2 ± 1.2 g/dl. The conclusion is Vitamin C supplementation and Ambon banana are effectively increased hemoglobin levels in anemic young women.
