      <Abstract>Northeast Indian region is known for presence of diverse and unique banana (Musa spp.) accessions and its seeded wild relatives including the seeded M. balbisiana (BB genome). These bananas are used for various purposes such as food, medicinal, handicrafts, fabrics, etc. In the present study carried out with 6 different M. balbisiana seed extracts collected from different states of northeast India, phytochemical contents such as total phenol, total tannin and total flavonoid were evaluated along with DPPH radical scavenging activity and Ferric reducing antioxidant power for evaluating the antioxidant potential. Variable contents of total phenol, total tannin and total flavonoid long with antioxidant potential were observed. Overall, the findings indicated possible application of the huge banana resources including the wild seeded accessions for various economic and useful value-added food, nutraceutical and herbal products.</Abstract>
