Dopamine is not levodopa
John,
The initial analysis which you quoted was apparently for the compound dopamine which is produced by enzymatic conversion from levodopa.
Levodopa can cross the blood-brain barrier following ingestion whereas dopamine can not, therefore the conversion must occur inside the brain cells.
I do not know whether bananas or your fermentation product have significant amounts of levodopa in them or not, but would not expect either one to have efficacy unless it were present.
