Abstract
Progesterone is a mammalian gonadal hormone which is generally present in plant samples in trace amount. In the present study, progesterone was identified in the ethanol extract of the banana inflorescence of Musa paradisiaca. L species by HPTLC method and silica part from HPTLC plates were scrapped and subjected to GC-MS analysis which further confirms the presence of progesterone. Preliminary phytochemical evaluation, mineral content, HPTLC fingerprinting, and steroid analysis of banana inflorescence is also done. HPTLC fingerprinting results of the ethanolic extract can be used as a diagnostic tool for the correct identification of the plant and as a phytochemical marker.
