Pineapple juice and its fractions in enzymatic browning inhibition of banana [Musa (AAA group) Gros Michel].

Effect of Pineapple Juice, Pineapple Shell Extract and Rice Bran Extract on Browning Prevention in Banana [Musa (AAA Group) ‘Gros Michel’] Slices and Puree

The effects of pineapple juice (PJ), pineapple shell extract (PSE) and rice bran extract (RBE) on browning in the banana slices and puree compared with citric acid solution (pH 3.8) (PH) and distilled water (DW) were investigated by measuring the color changes of the banana slices and puree. RBE treated banana slices had lower browning value than those treated with PJ, PSE, PH and DW after stor...

Comparative biochemical analysis during the anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic biomass from six morphological parts of Williams Cavendish banana (Triploid Musa AAA group) plants Short title: Banana lignocellulosic biomass and anaerobic digestion

An Effect of Organic Supplements on Stimulating Growth of Vanda and Mokara Seedlings in Tissue Culture

This study aimed to investigate effect of different organic supplements on growth of Vanda and Mokara seedlings. Vanda and Mokara seedlings approximately 0.2 and 0.3 cm. in height were sub-cultured onto VW supplemented with 150 ml/L coconut water, 100 g/L potato extract, 100 g/L ‘Gros Michel’ banana (AAA group) and 100 g/L ‘Namwa’ banana (ABB group). The explants were sub-cultured onto the same...

Cytological studies in the Musae; meiosis in some diploid clones.

HE banana breeding program currently being carried out in Jamaica T is largely based on the progeny of the triploid (zn=33) Gros Michel crossed with a number of naturally occurring diploids. The bulk of such progeny have been found to be tetraploid (LARTER 1935 and unpublished; CHEESMAN and DODDS 1942), which suggests that Gros Michel has a tendency to throw a majority of triploids among its vi...

Green - life of pink banana ( Musa spp . , cv . Figue Rose Naine ) : determination of the optimum harvesting date

The context for the production of bananas for export is characterised by a wide range of transport-times between producer and importer countries, and by the use of a single cultivar of banana (Musa spp., AAA group, cv. Cavendish Grande Naine). We investigated the green-life of pink banana (Musa spp., AAA group, Red sub-group, cv. Figue Rose Naine) for the different physiological ages of banana ...
