Nadeeshani, Harshani published the artcileProximate composition, fatty acid profile, vitamin and mineral content of selected banana varieties grown in Sri Lanka, Application of Methyl docosanoate, the main research area is banana fatty acid vitamin mineral composition.
Nearly 30 varieties of banana (Musa spp.) are grown in Sri Lanka while it is the most produced and traded fruit in fresh form in the world. In the present study, five banana varieties commonly grown in Sri Lanka were evaluated for their nutritional composition Fruits were collected using stratified random sampling design from all agro-climatic zones, sorted and cleaned. Composite samples were prepared by oven drying a portion of the sample at 45°C while the rest was freeze-dried. Proximate composition, fatty acid profile and vitamin composition were determined using standard procedures and presented on fresh weight basis. Total carbohydrate, protein and dietary fiber contents of studied banana varieties were 13.46-26.46, 0.14-0.2 and 1.97-2.49%, resp. Major fatty acids observed in Musa spp. were palmitic, linoleic, α-linolenic, oleic, stearic, palmitoleic and myristic acids. Vitamin A and E contents were higher than other fat-soluble vitamins. Among studied banana varieties, the nutritional significance of Puwalu was upheld by the highest quantities of fat-soluble vitamins and polyunsaturated fatty acids while the nutritional significance of Kolikuttu was upheld by the highest quantities of protein, dietary fiber, thiamine and riboflavin. Ambul kesel was observed to contain the highest vitamin C content among studied banana varieties.
Journal of Food Composition and Analysis published new progress about Banana. 929-77-1 belongs to class esters-buliding-blocks, name is Methyl docosanoate, and the molecular formula is C23H46O2, Application of Methyl docosanoate.
