Researchers have shown that stem juices from bananas (Musa × paradisiaca L.) have potential antidiabetic compounds, regardless of where they were planted. Their study, which was published in Czech Journal of Food Sciences, determined the phytochemicals present in banana stem juices that have antidiabetic property.
Results of the study show that although there were differences in antidiabetic compounds present in stem juice from bananas planted in Vietnam and in the Czech Republic, both of them still exhibited similar levels of alpha-glucosidase and alpha-amylase inhibition. Researchers also suggest that further studies should be done to identify and quantify the most potent antidiabetic compounds in banana stem juice.
