in vitro effects of Musa X Paradisiaca eXtracts on four developmental stages of haemonchus contortus
Research in Veterinary Science, 2014Co-Authors: Carine Mariemagdeleine, L Udino, L Philibert, Bruno Bocage, Harry ArchimèdeAbstract:This study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro effect of Musa X Paradisiaca stem and leaf against the parasitic nematode of small ruminants Haemonchus contortus. Three eXtracts (aqueous, methanolic and/or dichloromethane) of Musa X Paradisiaca stem and leaf were tested in vitro on four developmental stages of H. contortus using egg hatch assay (EHA), larval development assay (LDA), L3 migration inhibition assay (LMI) and adult worm motility assay (AWM). The highly significant (P 67% for each eXtract) and the negative effect of the dichloromethane eXtract of leaf on adult worm motility (43% of inhibition of motility after 24h of incubation) compared to the negative controls, suggest anthelmintic properties of Musa X Paradisiaca stem and leaf against H. contortus. The active principles responsible for the activity could be secondary metabolites such as terpenoid and flavonoid compounds present in the leaf and stem of the plant.

Effect of banana foliage (Musa X Paradisiaca) on nutrition, parasite infection and growth of lambs
Livestock Science, 2010Co-Authors: Carine Marie-magdeleine, Maryline Boval, Lucien Philibert, Arnaud Bordes, Harry ArchimèdeAbstract:Two successive completely randomised feeding trials were performed to test the nutritional value and anthelmintic properties of banana foliage in lambs. In the first trial, 40 five-month-old Martinik lambs (body weight: 17.3±4.1kg) were divided into four groups: artificially infected with Haemonchus contortus or non-infected lambs consuming a Dichantium hay or banana foliage diet. In the second trial, 20 lambs fed with a Dichantium hay diet were divided into two groups (Dichantium hay or banana foliage diet) 21days after being infected with H. contortus. Low growth rates were recorded in lambs, which were linked to the low intake of digestible dry matter. The first trial indicated a lack of effect of banana foliage against H. contortus in lambs. In the second trial, a significant positive effect of banana foliage on faecal egg count was observed, illustrating the probable effect of banana foliage on the fecundity of adult worms.

effect of consuming lactogenic biscuits formulated with banana Musa X Paradisiaca flower flour on eXpressed breast milk ebm among lactating working women
Journal of Food Science, 2019Co-Authors: Z M Nordin, Muhammad Nor Omar, Ibrahim Abu Bakar, Azizah MahmoodAbstract:The most common reasons given for breastfeeding discontinuation among working women is insufficient or low milk supply which related to physiological and psychological factors. In this case, natural galactagogue is suggested as an alternative for lactating women to augment eXpressed breast milk supply, instead of using drugs as a milk booster. This study investigated the banana flower of Musa X Paradisiaca for its galactogenic property on lactating working women. Formulations containing banana flower flour (BFF) and wheat flour with ratio of 50:50 were consumed by randomised lactating working women. A total of 58 mother-infant pairs were assigned to two groups which were placebo group (n=29) who consumed plain biscuits (without addition of BFF) and eXperimental group (n=29) who consumed prototype biscuits. EXpressed breast milk (EBM), anthropometric indices of mothers and infants were recorded before and after the consumption of the biscuits. The result showed that EBM volume after consuming lactogenic biscuits among eXperimental group was significantly higher compared to placebo groups. The indeX of mother’s BMI change after the intervention was not statistically significantly different between the two groups (p>0.05). However, the BMI for age indeX after the intervention was significantly different among the infants (p<0.05), which means that lactogenic biscuit also contributes to the infants' growth status. The usage of banana flower as a galactagogue was useful to help increasing maternal milk production among lactating working women. © 2019 The Authors. Published by Rynnye Lyan Resources.

2017Co-Authors: Azizah Mahmood, Muhammad Nor Omar, Noor Salihah, Nurziana NgahAbstract:This research is aimed to investigate the in vivo lactogenic effects of Musa X Paradisiaca flower eXtracts, namely the aglycone form of aqueous eXtract (AFEA) and condensed tannin (CT) on lactating rats. Lactating rats (n=6) of Spraque Dawley with siX pups each were orally administered with aqueous eXtract, AFEA, CT and metoclopramide. They were daily administered starting Day 5 until Day 14 and the performance was measured by weight-suckle-weight method. Results were analysed using SPSS by means of ANOVA at 0.05 and was eXpressed as their mean ± standard deviation. Milk production of rats treated with AFAE (4.65 ± 1.67 gm/pup/day) and aqueous eXtract (4.86 ± 2.36 gm/pup/day) were comparable with each other and significantly higher than negative control (3.63 ± 2.10 gm/pup/day) group. The groups treated with aqueous, AFAE, metoclopramide and CT were observed to increase milk yield by 28.03%, 24.87%, 2.63% and 2.20%, respectively, compared to negative control. The percentage body weight increment of pups for aqueous eXtract, AFAE, negative control, metoclopramide and CT, respectively were 148.21%, 122.29%, 113.8%, 101.53% and 87.06%. This research reveals the potential efficacy of bioactive compounds from Musa X Paradisiaca flower to enhance milk production of inadequate supply of milk for breastfeeding mothers.

the effect of diosgenin and condensed tannin in Musa X Paradisiaca flower on rats milk composition and growth rate of suckling pups
2012Co-Authors: Nurziana Ngah, Azizah Mahmood, Muhammad Nor OmarAbstract:The presence of secondary compounds has been recognized to have a profound effect upon both the nutritive and feeding value of foods. These effects are beneficial in some instances. In this study, a steroid saponin known as diosgenin and condensed tannin from Musa X Paradisiaca flower were evaluated for its potential efficacy in accelerating growth rate of Sprague Dawley suckling pups. Nutrients composition of milk collected from the nursing rats using a modified mechanical device after an injection of oXytoXin were also determined. Pups growth rates (g/day) for all treatments groups were measured as the slope of the regression of y = pup weight versus X = day of lactation. Pups growth rate was significantly improved for the groups treated with the aqueous and diosgenin eXtract in which the equation are y = 1.871X – 0.271 and y = 1.712X + 2.059, compared to negative control, metochlopramide and tannin which are y = 1.434X + 2.221, y = 1.349X + 3.602 and y = 1.221X + 5.397, respectively. The proXimate value in dry weight basis of milk showed that it contains of moisture, fat, protein, ash and carbohydrate of 4.179 – 5.739 %, 36.248 – 45.563 %, 30.323 – 34.293 %, 6.52 - 8.451 % and 10.475 – 16.751 %, respectively. High protein content measured in milk of diosgenin eXtract group suggests a possible effect of the eXtract in improving growth rate of the suckling pups.

Phytochemical screening and galactagogue of banana flower (Musa X Paradisiaca ABBB) eXtract on lactating rats
2010Co-Authors: Azizah Mahmood, Muhammad Nor Omar, Nurziana NgahAbstract:Some plants are known to have high level of phytochemical constituents that promote lactation (galactagogue)for nursing mothers (Goyal, etal, 2008). Herbal galactagogue are recommended by practitioners of the traditional systems of medicine for increasing milk secretion in constituents in banana flower of pisang abu siam (Musa X Paradisiaca- ABBB) eXtract on the effect of galactagogue in lactating rats. Taking into consideration the fact that bana flower is a common plant and considered completely safe and used for centuries both in nutrition and herbal tradition worldwide, the compounds would not have significant side effects and presents no health hazards for users. Lactating rats in treatment groups were fed eith plant eXtract while mohters in control group were given an equivalent amount of distilled water start from day 5 through fay 14. Sample was administered via oral animal feeding tubes. Milk production was estimated from Day 5 through Day 15 of lactation by isolating the litters (size siX) from the dam for 6 hr daily, then weighing the litter before and after 60 minutes of sucklinh. the study showed that rats that were administered with banana flower from the aqueous eXtract had significantly higher in miik yield compared to control and ethanol eXtract groups but not signficantly difference in the yeild compared to petroleum ether eXtract group.

in vitro effects of Musa X Paradisiaca eXtracts on four developmental stages of haemonchus contortus
Research in Veterinary Science, 2014Co-Authors: Carine Mariemagdeleine, L Udino, L Philibert, Bruno Bocage, Harry ArchimèdeAbstract:This study was carried out to evaluate the in vitro effect of Musa X Paradisiaca stem and leaf against the parasitic nematode of small ruminants Haemonchus contortus. Three eXtracts (aqueous, methanolic and/or dichloromethane) of Musa X Paradisiaca stem and leaf were tested in vitro on four developmental stages of H. contortus using egg hatch assay (EHA), larval development assay (LDA), L3 migration inhibition assay (LMI) and adult worm motility assay (AWM). The highly significant (P 67% for each eXtract) and the negative effect of the dichloromethane eXtract of leaf on adult worm motility (43% of inhibition of motility after 24h of incubation) compared to the negative controls, suggest anthelmintic properties of Musa X Paradisiaca stem and leaf against H. contortus. The active principles responsible for the activity could be secondary metabolites such as terpenoid and flavonoid compounds present in the leaf and stem of the plant.
