Development and Characterization of Fortified Ready‐to‐Eat Banana Porridge Flour: A Multi‐Age Nutritional Intervention

Journal of Food Processing and Preservation, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
One‐fifth of banana production is wasted due to failure to meet market ripening standards. This study aimed to develop ready‐to‐eat (RTE) green banana porridge flour and fortify it with moringa leaf powder (RTEM), hemp powder (RTEH), soybean powder (RTES), and pea powder (RTEP) to formulate nutritionally enhanced porridges for older infants, children ...

Variation in Quantitative Resistance Components to the Fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis Causing Black Leaf Streak Disease Among Banana Genotypes

Plant Pathology, Volume 74, Issue 9, Page 2857-2879, December 2025.
We assessed the quantitative resistance components of different banana genotypes to the fungus Pseudocercospora fijiensis causing black leaf streak disease in field and controlled conditions. ABSTRACT Combining different components of quantitative resistance in new banana hybrids has potential for developing efficient and durable control of black leaf ...

Antibacterial and Antioxidant Activities of Banana (Musa, AAA cv. Cavendish) Fruits Peel [PDF]

American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, 2005
The fresh green and yellow banana peel of, (Musa, cv. Cavendish) fruits were treated with 70% acetone, which were partitioned with chloroform (CHCl3) and ethyl acetate (EtOAc), sequentially. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated by using the thiocyanate method, β-carotene bleaching method and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH ...

Modulating Surfactin Biosynthesis in Bacillus subtilis R31 Enhances Behavioural Traits and Biocontrol Efficacy Against Banana Fusarium Wilt

Microbial Biotechnology, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2025.
This study demonstrates that the production of surfactin by B. subtilis R31 needs to be balanced. Excessive surfactin will weaken the colonisation ability and disease control effect of the strain. By targeting the regulation of the surfactin signalling pathway, synthetic microbial communities can be designed for sustainable disease control.

Determination of senescent spotting in banana (Musa cavendish) using fractal texture Fourier image

Journal of Food Engineering, 2008
The analysis of fractal texture reflects a change in pixel intensity, and this might contain information about the structure of objects since a great change in intensity might usually indicate changes in the object. In the images of banana surfaces, the texture image can, to some extent, reflect changes and thus it can be used as an indicator of the ...

Lipid metabolism and MAPK-ICE1 cascade play crucial roles in cold tolerance of banana

Horticulture Advances
Low temperature is a major environmental factor that limits the growth, yield, and geographical distribution of Cavendish and Dajiao bananas (Musa spp.). Dajiao bananas exhibit a significantly higher cold tolerance than the Cavendish cultivar.

Underground Warfare: Mechanisms of Trichoderma in the Suppression of the March of Fusarium in Banana Plants—Advances, Limitations and Perspectives

Journal of Phytopathology, Volume 173, Issue 6, November/December 2025.
ABSTRACT Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. cubense (Foc), remains one of the most devastating threats to global banana production, particularly with the spread of Tropical Race 4 (TR4). Conventional management options are limited due to the pathogen's persistence in soil, wide host range and difficulty of eradication.

Drying Kinetics of Banana Slices (cvs. Musa nana and Musa Cavendish)

, 2013
In the present work, bananas of cvs. Musa nana and Musa Cavendish were dehydrated by hot air drying at 50 ºC and 70 ºC. The purpose of this work was to fit the kinetic data to different thin layer models found in the literature to describe the drying rates of bananas, in order to find out which model better describes the drying kinetics of these two ...
