Banana is considered as a potential source of valuable nutraceutical bioactive compounds. In addition, It is not only considered as a fruit crop but also serve as high energy containing food in various parts of the world. The aim of this review is to evaluate the historical record, uses, biological activities, chemical composition and compositional changes during ripening behavior in both edible and non-edible part of banana. Recent studies have shown that banana as raw materials riches in valuable bioactive compounds including as vitamins, phytosterols, biogenic amines, phenolics, carotenoids, volatile compounds, minerals, starch and carbohydrates which are highly required in the diet as they play important role in the maintenance of human health and well-being. This paper also covers the potential biological activities of banana such as antidiarrheal, antiulcerative, antimicrobial, antioxidant, hypoglycemic, wound healing, antilithiatic and anticancer activity. It also provide an outline of chemical constituents of banana named vitamins, polyphenols, steroids, triterpenes and amines, carotenoids, starch and carbohydrates, volatile compounds and mineral contents. Furthermore, with the development of fruit these beneficial bioactive compounds vary rapidly because of adopting atmospheric and standardized post and pre-harvested conditions. The mainstream sectors responsible for these changes are highlighted.

香蕉被认为是有价值的营养生物活性化合物的潜在来源。此外，它不仅被认为是一种水果作物，而且在世界各地也被用作含高能量的食物。这篇综述的目的是评估香蕉的可食用部分和非食用部分在成熟过程中的历史记录，用途，生物学活性，化学组成和组成变化。最近的研究表明，香蕉作为原材料富含有价值的生物活性化合物，包括维生素，植物甾醇，生物胺，酚类，类胡萝卜素，挥发性化合物，矿物质，淀粉和碳水化合物，它们在饮食中非常重要，因为它们在维持生命中起着重要作用。人类健康和福祉。本文还涵盖了香蕉的潜在生物活性，例如止泻，抗溃疡，抗微生物，抗氧化剂，降血糖，伤口愈合，抗结石和抗癌活性。它还概述了香蕉的化学成分，称为维生素，多酚，类固醇，三萜和胺，类胡萝卜素，淀粉和碳水化合物，挥发性化合物和矿物质。此外，随着水果的发展，这些有益的生物活性化合物因采用大气和标准化的收获后和收获前条件而迅速变化。强调了负责这些变化的主流部门。多酚，类固醇，三萜和胺，类胡萝卜素，淀粉和碳水化合物，挥发性化合物和矿物质含量。此外，随着水果的发展，这些有益的生物活性化合物因采用大气和标准化的收获后和收获前条件而迅速变化。强调了负责这些变化的主流部门。多酚，类固醇，三萜和胺，类胡萝卜素，淀粉和碳水化合物，挥发性化合物和矿物质含量。此外，随着水果的发展，这些有益的生物活性化合物因采用大气和标准化的收获后和收获前条件而迅速变化。强调了负责这些变化的主流部门。
