Steryl glucosides from banana plant Musa acuminata Colla var cavendish
| Resumo: | The chemical composition of the dichloromethane extracts of several vegetal fractions of banana plant, Musa acuminata Colla var cavendish have been studied by GC–MS. Several bioactive steryl glucosides, namely campesteryl 3- -d-glucopyranoside, stigmasteryl 3- -d-glucopyranoside and sitosteryl 3- -d-glucopyranoside were identified as the major components of the ex tracts, accounting for 838.4–1824.3 mg/kg of the plant fractions dry weight. The high abundance of these compounds might be an important contribution to the valorization of banana plant agricultural residues. |
