The present study also showed that treatment of banana fruits with extracts of Zimmu and Z. scabra had no adverse effect on the peel color, flavor or consumer acceptability. Similarly, Sanguansin (2002) reported that there were no significant adverse effects on quality of mango when it was treated with plant extracts. In our earlier study also we have reported the effectiveness of Ocimum sanctum oil in controlling the crown rot disease of banana without affecting the organoleptic properties of the fruit (Sangeetha et al., 2010). However, treatment of banana fruits with root extracts of A. calamus and leaf extract of P. zeylanica had some odor on the fruit.
