Description

Banana is a perennial herbaceous plant that grows from the underground rhizome. It flourishes well under tropical, moisture-rich, humid, low-lying farmlands. The whole Banana plant is a false stem (pseudostem). This pseudostem is consisting of broad leaves, together with their long petioles, overlapping each other in a disc-like fashion. The whole plant may reach 2–6 m in height from the ground surface depending upon the cultivar types. At maturity, the rhizome gives rise to a flower that is carried up along the actual core stem which passes through the center of the pseudostem.

The flower finally emerges out at the top in-between leaf clusters and subsequently develops to a large hanging bunch, consisting of 3–20 hands (tiers of fruit), with each hand carrying at least 5–10 fingers (fruits).

Chemical Composition

The fruit contains hexose, uronic acid, isoamyl acetate, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine, serotonin, protein， citric acid and so on.
