For these plants, inulin is used as an energy reserve and for regulating cold resistance. [5] [6] Because it is soluble in water, it is osmotically active.
Tartaric acid is a white, crystalline organic acid that occurs naturally in many fruits, most notably in grapes but also in tamarinds, bananas, avocados, and citrus. [1] Its salt, potassium bitartrate, commonly known as cream of tartar, develops naturally in the process of fermentation.
In 1934, British biologist Richard Gane discovered that the chemical constituent in ripe bananas could cause ripening of green bananas, as well as faster growth of pea. He showed that the same growth effect could be induced by ethylene. [15] Reporting in Nature that ripe fruit (in this case Worcester Pearmain apple) produced ethylene he said:
As is the case with all monocultures, the intensive agroindustrial methods for banana production have considerable environmental impact. Banana cultivation requires a large amount of pesticide (estimate: 35 lb/acre, 39 kg/ha) and can encourage ecosystem destruction through deforestation.
In a 100-gram reference amount, dried banana chips supply 520 calories and are a rich source (20% or more of the Daily Value, DV) of magnesium (21% DV) and vitamin B6 (20% DV), with moderate amounts of iron, copper, and potassium (10% to 11% DV) (table).
