Quantitative colour variability and micronutrient content of new plantain and banana hybrids flour was investigated. The mean flour colour of the cultivars ranges from 12.16 for BITA 3 to 18.52 for FHIA 23, which is an indication of varying degree of yellowness. Both FHIA 23 and PITA 17 had colou...
