Green synthesis of copper and zinc nanoparticles using different varieties of banana starch, latex and sap and evaluation of their antifungal activity against Fusarium oxysporum cubense

Soil borne diseases which are caused to various plants include a wide variety of soil microbes like fungi and bacteria, among which Fusarium wilt is one such disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum cubense in banana plants. Wilt disease or the panama disease of plant is among the most destructive disease of banana in the tropics and even the control methods like field sanitation, soil treatments and crop rotations have not been a long term control for this disease. An alternative method of treating Fusarium oxysporum was adopted by using various banana parts mainly its peel, pulp sap and its latex of varieties such as Robusta (B1) Musa acuminate Colla (AAA), Etha (B2) Musa x paradisiaca (AAB), ...

Morphological characterization and nutritional analysis (leaf and pseudostem) of selected banana varieties in Kerala: an overview

Banana is an important fruit grown and consumed in tropics and sub tropic regions. It is the edible fruit usually seedless which can be grown in any climatic condition. It is rich in carbohydrates, fat, proteins, vitamins, minerals and water. A comparative study between 10 different Musa sp. in Kerala was conducted to study the various morphological characteristics. Each of the banana plant differ from each other on the basics of its height, length, colour, pseudostem, leaf, flower bud and fruit. The nutritional components such as moisture, crude protein, crude fibre, ether extract and total ash of pseudostem and leaf of selected varieties of Musa were analysed. For this pseudostem and leaf of 4 different varieties were selected and tested. The test was based on the AOAC method. The result shows that the crude fibre content of pseudostem and leaf is high with certain nutritive value.

Characterization and nutritional analysis of commonly cultivated banana varieties in Kerala: an overview

Banana is one of the most common and widely used food all over the universe from ancient time. In this work mainly the nutrition analysis of various commonly cultivated banana varieties in Kerala has been used such as Najalipoovan, Poovan, Etha, Palenkodan, Robesta, Chemkadali, Pachakadhali, Sundari and Kannan. The peel contain about 40% of weight of banana fruit it's nutrition analysis is been also done to analyse various contents of significance. Further there is chance of occurrence of nutrients in peel since banana fruit is rich in various nutrients. And the peel of banana ,a biomass just discarded into nature can thus be converted to various value added products like drugs, soaps, anima...

Morphological characterization of edible banana varieties in Kerala (including germplasm collection) and male flower nutritional analysis of selected varieties: an overview

Banana (Musa) is a fruit bearing plant belongs to the Musaceae family and mainly cultivated fir it’s fruit, which is used as a nutritionally rich food item. The banana male bud is also used as a food item due to its high nutritional content. The different banana variety are found which differ in size, shape, appearance, fruit, nutritional value etc. The banana is mainly used as a food item in major part of the world. The value added products can be developed from the fruit. Because of the high protein, fibre, and vitamin content the bananas are widely used The morphological analysis of different variety help us to understand the difference between the 25 varieties in terms of size, shape, ...

Prospects of Fresh Market Wastes Management in Developing Countries

This book focuses on the prospects of fresh market waste management in developing countries. It characterizes fresh market wastewater and solid wastes, and highlights the human health impact of corresponding waste management practices. With regard to treatment technologies, the book discusses the anaerobic digestion of fresh solid wastes; the application of natural coagulants for wastewater treatment; the remediation of xenobiotics in wastewater using nanotechnology; and biofilter aquaponic systems for nutrient removal. All of these technologies are recent innovations, offer several concrete advantages, and can be applied in developing countries as non-central treatment systems. In addition, the book covers electricity production from fresh solid wastes using microbial fuel cells, demonstrating the potential held by recycling fresh market wastewater and solid wastes.

Screening of exogenous IAA producing plant growth promoting Rhizobacteria from agriculture soil

Phytohormones (plant hormones) are chemical messengers that affect a plant’s ability to respond to its environment. There are five major classes of plant hormones: auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, ethylene and abscisic acid. These hormones can work together or independently to influence plant growth. Of these five hormones, auxin is the most important one. The most important member of auxin family is indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), which generates the majority of auxin effects in intact plants, and is the most potent native auxin. The indole acetic acid (IAA) production is a major property of rhizosphere bacteria that stimulate and facilitate plant growth. Plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (P...

Wine is psychoactive drug commonly used for its intoxicating effects typically made of fermented juice of fruits. The leafy vegetables also called protherbs, greens, salad greens, plant leaves eaten as a vegetable, accompanied by tender petioles and shoots. They come from a very wide variety of plants, share a great deal with other leaf vegetables in nutrition and cooking methods. Leaf vegetables are typically low in calories and fat and high in protein per calorie, dietary fibre, vitamin C, pro vitamin A carotenoids, folate, manganese and vitamin K. In this study the process of fermentation of leafy vegetable extract is mixed with the spices like cardamom, star anise, nutmeg for increasing ...

Jackfruit (Artocarpus heterophyllus), is a species of tree in the fig, mulberry, and breadfruit family (Moraceae) and is widely esteemed in tropical Asia. The jackfruit tree is well suited to tropical lowlands, and is widely cultivated throughout South and South-East Asia. It is also grown to a limited extent in Australia, USA, East Africa, as well as in Brazil, Mexico and the Caribbean. Producing giant fruits which can reach up to 80kg in size, jackfruit is the largest tree-borne fruit in the world. It is highly versatile, providing food, timber, fuel in addition to medicinal and industrial products. The ripe fruit is sweet and is more often used for desserts. Canned green jackfruit has a mild taste and meat-like texture that lends itself to being called a 'vegetable meat'. Hence, it is growing in popularity due to its use as a vegan meat alternative. Containing information on jackfruit production technology, postharvest management and processing, this is a valuable resource for researchers in horticulture, plant science, and those interested in sustainable food systems.
