N2  - The study on chemical composition and structure of components from different morphological parts of 'Dwarf Cavendish' banana plant (petioles/midrib, leaf blades, floral stalk, leaf sheaths and rachis)have been carried out aiming to evaluate their potential as eventual raw materials for the chemical processing. Macromolecular components were analysed using solid-state NMR, ATR-FTIR and wet chemistry methods. Mineral components were assessed by ICP analysis of ashes obtained after raw material calcinations. It was verified that chemical composition of the studied fractions of banana plant varies significantly. The major extremes were found in the contents of cellulose (37.3
