Abstract
This research aims to study bioactivity of aerial parts extract from four cultivars of banana; Musa sp. that has been multipurpose plant in Thailand. The determination of phytochemical exhibited that Musa (AA) ‘Lep Mue Nang’ extract had the highest contents of flavonoid and tannin as 515.69 mg QE/g extract and 874.93 mg TAE/g extract, respectively, whereas Musa (AA) ‘Khai’ extract presented the highest level of total phenolic content as 958.49 mg GAE/g extract. Analyzed the efficacy of free radical scavenging by using DPPH radical scavenging assay reveal that the highest antioxidant activity found in Musa (AA) ‘Khai’ extract showed IC50 at 5.76 mg/ml. Cytotoxicity studied of extracts against HeLa cell line by MTT assay at the maximum concentration 10000 μg/ml found that Musa (AA) ‘Khai’ extract had the most cytotoxicity at 82.08%. According to the bioactivities results, Musa (AA) ‘Khai’ extract has potential for remedy aspects to add value of this plant.
