File Name : figure a1.tiff

Caption : figure a.1. carotenoid content and profile in 27 banana accessions, at three ripening stages (a, b, c) and two ripening methods at stage c, fully ripe in controlled conditions (ccc) and fully ripe naturally on the plant (cnc). letters on the right side of each graph represent tukey’s honest significant difference (hsd) grouping results.

File Name : figure a2.tiff

Caption : figure a.2. average total carotenoid content (mg/100 g dw) for 27 banana accessions classified by market type. (a) fully ripened in controlled conditions (ccc), and (b) fully ripened naturally on the plant (cnc). letters on each bar represent tukey’s honestly significant difference (hsd) grouping.

File Name : figure a3.tiff

Caption : figure a.3. total starch content for 11 banana accessions evaluated at fully ripe stage under two ripening conditions, fully ripe in controlled conditions (ccc) and fully ripe naturally on the plant (cnc). letters on the right side of each graph represent tukey’s honestly significant difference (hsd) grouping.

File Name : figure a4 a.tiff

Caption : figure a.4. (a) scatter plot comparing total starch content (g/100 d.w.) and carotenoid absolute bioaccessibility (mg/100 d.w.) for 11 banana accessions evaluated at fully ripe stage under two ripening conditions, fully ripe in controlled conditions (ccc) and fully ripe naturally on the plant (cnc). 

File Name : figure a4 b.tiff

Caption : figure a.4. (b) scatter plot comparing total starch content (g/100 d.w.) and carotenoid relative bioaccessibility (%) for 11 banana accessions evaluated at fully ripe stage under two ripening conditions, fully ripe in controlled conditions (ccc) and fully ripe naturally on the plant (cnc).
