Abstract: Surface active phospholipids (SAPs) adhere to biological surfaces and produce biophysical actions that may potentially be useful in the treatment of obstructive sleep apnoea when applied to the pharyngeal mucosa. Ripe bananas contain clinically promising SAPs and may represent a cheap and palatable means of administering SAPs to the pharyngeal mucosa. However, little is known regarding how long administered SAPs are retained on biological surfaces.
