Please permit me to say that although the starch content of plantain is higher than banana, the vitamin content in plantain is much more than banana. Likewise, the moisture content of banana is much more than plantain. Consequently, the hydrolysis process converts more carbohydrate to sugar in the one with higher moisture content, in this case banana. This explains why ripe banana is sweeter and less starchy than ripe unfried plantain. This is one reason why plantain is regarded as a starchy vegetable, and banana, a fruit
