ABSTRACT

A well-known food crop, the fruit’s (Musaceae spp.) is mostly consumed as a considerable output in most developing nations. But its flowers will always become agricultural waste. These byproduct’s are also abundant in bioactive substances and crucial to maintaining our health. Banana bloom has comparable phytochemical concentrations, according to recent investigations. Banana blossoms are therefore a potential functional food with a variety of nutraceutical values, and this review intends to investigate their phytochemical components, antioxidant characteristics, and health benefits. Based on research in the literature, this review identified the bioactive substances present in this banana blossom, involving phenolics, flavonoids, dietary the fibres, tannins, saponins, and vitamins. It also identified the banana blossom’s potential biological activities, including antioxidant, anti-,
anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial qualities. This leads to conclusion that banana blossoms have enough levels of healthy secondary metabolites that are important for preserving good health.
