Musa Plant, Banana, Antimicrobial, Wound Healing, Antidiarrheal

Bananas (Musa spp.) are giant perennial monocotyledonous herbs of the order Zingiberales, a sister group to the well-studied Poales, which include cereals. This group includes both dessert and cooking types of bananas. Bananas are the most widely consumed fruit in developed nations and are essential for food security in many tropical and subtropical regions. In Southeast Asia, the domestication of Musa began some 7,000 years ago. It involved the selection of diploid and triploid seedless, parthenocarpic hybrids that were subsequently widely dispersed through vegetative propagation. These hybridizations between diverse species and subspecies were encouraged by human migrations. Nowadays, soma clones originating from a single triploid genotype (Cavendish) account for half of the production. Diseases and pests have steadily evolved, posing a serious threat to the world's banana crop. One of the most widely grown fruits in the world, bananas (Musaceae) is also among the oldest plants used for medicinal purposes, with a wide range of uses. Clarifying the effectiveness of this plant's naturally occurring active ingredients—particularly the antimicrobials—has garnered attention lately. This review starts with a synopsis of the banana plant's history, its various cultivars, and a synopsis of its components. The antimicrobial properties of various experimental tests and the relevant bioactive compounds of the banana part extracts are then elaborated. Various recent and developing uses of banana pieces as a natural antioxidant, fiber/prebiotic source, fat/sucrose substitute, and wheat substitute in the creation of functional dairy, meat, and bakery products are also covered. One of the healthiest fruits is the banana because it is high in minerals, fatty acids, proteins, and carbs. Traditional medicine has used bananas to treat burns, ulcers, diarrhea, and coughs and colds. Numerous bioactive substances found in bananas, including tannins, alkaloids, phenols, flavonoids, and saponins, have been linked to a number of health benefits, including anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, antioxidant, and anti-microbial properties. The current review is centered on providing a thorough overview of the nutritional, biological, and phytochemical characteristics of various banana species and their various parts. Chemical profiling of the banana's seed, pseudostem, and leaves is lacking and needs more research, despite extensive characterization of the compounds found in many parts of the plant having been completed.
