The effect of diosgenin and condensed tannin in Musa x paradisiaca flower on rats milk composition and growth rate of suckling pups
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...
