The main functions include: quickly replenishing energy and maintaining electrolyte balance; Its soluble fiber helps improve intestinal function and alleviate constipation; The potassium element contained supports heart health and blood pressure regulation; Resistant starch is beneficial for stabilizing postprandial blood sugar and enhancing satiety.
Banana Fruit Extract Powder 10:1 TLC, Banana Instant Powder
【Botanical source】: Musa acuminata ‘(AAA)’
【Part used】: Fruit
【Specification】: 10:1TLC, Banana Instant Powder
【Extraction solvents】: Water
【Appearance】: Offwhite fine powder
【Particle size】: 95% pass 80 mesh size
【Main ingredients】: The main components of bananas include water, carbohydrates (mainly sugar and resistant starch), dietary fiber, potassium, magnesium, vitamin B6, and vitamin C. The carbohydrate composition of bananas varies with maturity, and green bananas are rich in resistant starch, which is converted into sugar after maturity. In addition, bananas also contain trace amounts of bioactive substances such as polyphenols.
【Storage conditions】：Store at room temperature in a sealed manner, away from light, and in a ventilated, cool, and dry environment.
【Shelf life】： 24 months from the production date

Modern Pharmacological Effects of Banana Instant Powder/ Banana Extract Powder
Banana instant powder/Banana extract powder, typically made from green or ripe banana pulp, concentrates its bioactive components, leading to several evidenced pharmacological effects:
- Gastrointestinal Health: Its high content of resistant starch and dietary fiber acts as a potent prebiotic, stimulating beneficial gut microbiota (e.g., Bifidobacteria, Lactobacilli). This supports digestive regularity, alleviates constipation, and may help manage diarrhea by normalizing bowel function.
- Glycemic & Metabolic Control: The resistant starch and fiber significantly slow glucose absorption, improving postprandial blood sugar response and insulin sensitivity, which is beneficial for managing type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.
- Cardiometabolic Protection: It contributes to lowering LDL-cholesterol levels via bile acid binding and fermentation products. Its high potassium and magnesium content supports blood pressure regulation.
- Antioxidant Activity: The powder retains polyphenols (e.g., catechins, dopamine) from the source fruit, providing free radical scavenging activity that helps mitigate oxidative stress.
- Energy & Nutrient Delivery: It serves as a dense source of readily available carbohydrates, vitamins (B6, C), and minerals, making it a functional ingredient for nutritional support and energy replenishment.
