Musa paradisiaca Linn. is widely distributed throughout various tropical regions. Exudate (stem juice) of the pseudostem part of M. paradisiaca Linn.is highly nutritious and important naturally available medicinal valuable one for human. The present study was carried out to investigate qualitative and quantitative analysis of phytochemicals, nutritive and antibacterial analysis of M. paradisiaca. Qualitative phytochemical analysis was performed using standard protocols and three extracts were used for the study and the presence of alkaloids, saponins, cardiac glycosides, anthraquinones and flavanoids was indicated by the changes of colour, precipitation or turbidity. The determination of nutritional value in experimental exudate was investigated because they were used for multiple medicinal purposes particularly consequences of urolithiatic disease. Quantitative estimation of phytochemicals revealed that tannins are most abundant 28.04±3.27 in raw M. paradisiaca exudates, 25.62±2.16 in aqueous extract, 19.31±2.92 in ethanol extract and 18.55±1.26 in methanol extract. The mineral composition of M. paradisiaca exudate contained 18mg Iron, 71.9mEq/L Potassium, 32.5 mEq/L Sodium, 1.2mg Phosphorous and 9.6mg calcium in raw musa exudates. Antibacterial results revealed only a positive result in all the extract we have analysed. Among three solvent extract used for the study, Musa pseudostem raw exudate is significantly inhibited the microorganisms E. aerogens, S. flexneri, Streptococcus pyogens, Klebsiella pneumoniae at a concentration of 1000µg/ml. The present studies demonstrated that pseudostem extract of musa paradisiaca has high antibacterial activity. These results make it possible to infer further applications in the field of pharmacological area.
