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

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.

Molecular physiology of banana fruit ripening : improvement of fruit quality [PDF]
It is now assumed that the quality of fruit is a complex trait in which a lot of mechanisms are involved, some of them being antagonistic. All of these mechanisms are the results the coercive action of differentially regulated genes.

The exploration of the pathosystem BSV/Musa sp. : How does it work? [PDF]
As several other plants, the genome of banana and plantain contains integrations of Banana streak virus (BSV) sequences even though integration is not an essential step in the replication cycle of this virus.

LAMINATED COMPOSITES REINFORCED WITH CHEMICALLY MODIFIED SHEETS-STALK OF MUSA CAVENDISH
A laminated material was developed using sheets of polylactic acid (PLA semicrystalline -PLAsc- and PLA amorphous -PLAa- ), and thermoplastic starch (TPS) reinforced with natural fibre (NF) extracted from sheet-stalk of the plantain plant (Musa cavendish).

Fish feed is one of the factors that crucial in the growth process of fish. One of the fish-feed is the pellets. The purpose of this study was to utilize Cavendish Banana peel waste (Musa Acuminata Cavendish Subgroup) as fish pellets with the addition of papaya leaves through a fermentation process to fulfill fish nutrition.

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