The present study was performed to determine the phytochemical analysis and antioxidant activity of Musa balbisiana colla. The antioxidant activity was analysed in fresh-Banana extraction juice methods. The fresh-Banana extraction juice were evaluated for antioxidant assay using 1,1- diphenyl-2-picrl-hydrazyl (DPPH). These tests depicted that the fresh-Banana extraction juice possess highest scavenging activity across all the assays. From all the parts analysed the fresh- Banana extraction juice exhibited highest antioxidant activity. The Musa balbisiana fresh-Banana extraction juice were evaluated for qualitative tests and proximate analysis and it was found that Musa balbisiana fresh-Banana extraction juice contains high amount of protein, carbohydrate, energy, micronutrients and fiber. Hence, the fresh-Banana extraction juice demonstrated compositional, functional, and nutritional properties, and the fact that these formulas are inexpensive, easily accessible, and nutritious may make them effective in addressing some of the nutrition problems that infants and children face. As a result, they were discovered to be potentially suitable for use as weaning foods, both at home and in the commercial setting.
