Abstract

Musa balbisiana Colla and Musa acuminata Colla are two different species of banana which is a popular plant found in India and other Asian nations. This plant's parts are known to have medicinal and traditional benefits. The present study attempts to study the morphological and anatomical characteristics of both Musa balbisiana Colla and Musa acuminata Colla. Several sections of the plant have been found to have pharmacological characteristics, including antidiabetic, antibacterial, anticancer, and hepatoprotective characteristics, among others. Musa balbisiana Colla antibacterial and anti-diabetic capabilities have been extensively explored among its many pharmacological qualities. The main objective of the research is to extensively study the inflorescense part of both the plant and to find out its preliminary Phytochemical screening along with its antioxidant activity.
