The bioactive compounds from the plant secondary metabolism have a clear therapeutic potential by contributing towards the antioxidant activities. The phenolics and carotenoids are the main phytochemicals present in fruits and vegetables that are related to human health (Singh et al., 2015). This section focuses on the beneficial phytochemicals present in banana. Like other important fruits, bananas have a characteristic array of bioactive compounds. The ones which have received particular attention in the raw and ripened banana are the phenolics, caretonoids, flavonoids and biogenic amines. Some phytosterols also have been found at low levels in banana pulp. Due to these bioactive compounds, bananas have a higher antioxidant capacity than some berries, herbs and vegetables and this capacity increases during fruit maturity.
