Banana

BANANA

 

     Bananas (Musa acuminata) possess a comprehensive B-complex vitamin profile, with the exclusion of vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin). They are particularly distinguished by their pyridoxine (vitamin B6) content (19.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), as well as biotin (12.0%) and ascorbic acid (10.0%). The fruit is also characterized by a significant concentration of mineral elements: boron (531.0% DV per 100 g), silicon (257.0%), rubidium (63.0%), potassium (14.0%), manganese (14.0%), and magnesium (8.8%).

 

     The nutritional profile includes a high mono- and disaccharide fraction (38.0% DV), within which glucose (49.8% DV per 100 g) and fructose (14.0%) are the predominant sugars. The fruit provides dietary fiber (13.0% DV) and is further distinguished by its total phytosterol content (29.0% DV). Notably, bananas contain significant quantities of starch (5.38 g per 100 g) and sucrose (2.39 g per 100 g).

 

     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 8.3% of the daily allowance.

 

     The concentration of oxalic acid per 100 g is minimal (0.7 mg), representing 0.2% of the maximum tolerable daily intake (for further details, see Rhubarb).
