The Proximate Analysis, Mineral Composition, Phytochemical Screening and Antimicrobial Activity of Ripe and Unripe Peel Extract of Musa Paradisiaca

Background/Objectives: Musa paradisiaca (Plantain) is used as a traditional therapeutic medicinal plant employed in various diseases. This study was carried out to evaluate the nutraceutical potentials of ripe and unripe peels paradisiaca. The phytochemical screening well antimicrobial activity extracts (methanol ethanol) also evaluated. Methods: Proximate mineral analyses samples were performed per standard methods Association Official Analytical Chemists. Preliminary methanol ethanol accordance with methods. activities M. peel tested in-vitro against isolates clinical origin by agar diffusion method. Results: Phytochemical analysis both indicated presence flavonoids, terpenoids, starch, steroids, reducing sugars. essential minerals such iron, zinc, copper manganese. fat, protein, crude fibre carbohydrate composition values extract found higher than samples. at concentrations showed no antibacterial organisms. Conclusion: concludes that plantain fruit thought be little or significance could serve nutraceuticals medicinally vital material animal health probably humans.
