- <p><span lang="EN">The Musa genus, widely cultivated, known for its dietary importance, nutrient profiling, with all these qualities, exhibits a broad spectrum of traditional medicinal applications. Along with various fruits, vegetables, and plants, studies have discovered that the unused byproduct part, specifically the floral structures known as the heart of a banana or banana blossom, has shown great potential for pharmacological and therapeutic investigations due to its rich array of bioactive constituents. This review highlights on the significance of the banana blossom, it shows a combined findings from recent research on Musa species, particularly targeting the inflorescence part highlighting its notable applications towards the antioxidant potential, which is largely regulated due to presence of substantial levels of polyphenols, flavonoids compound and their derivatives that neutralizes cellular oxidative damage. The study further explores and continues the antidiabetic action exhibited by the banana flower extracts, which slow down the action of carbohydrate-digesting enzymes, resulting in lowering the glucose levels. In addition, the extracts’ antimicrobial potential is also visualized against microbial strains. By analysing the current and recent body of literature, this study presents a well-structured view and comprehensive perspective on the therapeutic and ethnomedicinal promise of banana inflorescence. It encourages and promotes the future aspect and development in this field of pharmacology using natural-based products.</span></p>
