Despite the global significance of bananas, detailed characterization of their nutritional, physicochemical, and bioactive properties remains limited, especially for rare or regionally cultivated varieties. This study profiles 13-banana cultivars from Vietnam to identify varietal differences and assess their potential in food applications, using a multi-dimensional framework including morphology, surface color, and texture. Physicochemical characteristics and proximate nutritional components were assessed using validated methodologies. Moreover, key bioactive compounds and antioxidant activities were quantified via spectrophotometric assays. Results revealed significant inter-cultivar variation across all analytical domains. Ta Qua exhibited the largest fruit morphology and the highest carbohydrate content (>40.29 g/100g), while Cha Bot demonstrated elevated concentrations of phenolic and flavonoid compounds, correlating with robust antioxidant activity (1.17-1.67 mgAA/gDW). Conversely, Sap Trang presented limited antioxidant capacity but was comparatively rich in protein (1.89 g/100g). The study highlights the importance of cultivar-specific profiling to support evidence-based selection for nutrition, breeding, and food development.

尽管香蕉在全球具有重要意义，但对其营养、物理化学和生物活性特性的详细表征仍然有限，特别是对于稀有或地区性种植的品种。本研究对来自越南的13种香蕉栽培品种进行了特征分析，以识别品种间的差异，并评估它们在食品应用中的潜力，使用了包括形态学、表面颜色和质地在内的多维度框架进行评估。采用经过验证的方法评估了物理化学特性和接近营养成分。此外，通过分光光度法检测关键生物活性化合物和抗氧化活性。结果表明，在所有分析领域中均存在显著的品种间差异。Ta Qua展示了最大的果实形态和最高的碳水化合物含量（>40.29 g/100g），而Cha Bot则表现出酚类和黄酮类化合物的浓度较高，与强大的抗氧化活性相关（1.17-1.67 mgAA/gDW）。相反，Sap Trang具有有限的抗氧化能力，但其蛋白质含量相对丰富（1.89 g/100g）。该研究强调了根据营养、育种和食品开发需求进行品种特异性表征的重要性。
