Abstract

Banana is a staple starchy food consumed all over the world. It helps to prevent asthma, cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and digestive problems. The cell line studies were carried out with the banana wine prepared from the cultivar Dwarf Cavendish to determine the anti-cancer properties. The anti-cancer activity determination was carried over the HCT-15 colon cancer cell line. Banana wine had capability of inhibiting the cell viability of the cancerous cells. Banana wine showed its anti-cancer properties at the 10% concentration whereas the cell viability was low when compared to other concentration and control.
