- Banana, the fruit of a
plant of the genus Musa (family Musaceae) is basically cultivated for
food, and secondary for the production of fibers, and also for producing
tissue-thin tea bags.
- Bananas consist mainly
of sugars (glucose, fructose and sucrose) and fiber, which makes them
ideal for an immediate and slightly prolonged source of energy.
- Banana fiber is used in
the production of banana paper. Banana paper is used in two different
senses: to refer to a paper made from the bark of the banana plant,
mainly used for artistic purposes, or paper made from banana fiber,
obtained with an industrialized process from the stem and the non-usable
fruits.
- Antifungal and
antibiotic principles are found in the peel and pulp of fully ripe
bananas. The antibiotic acts against Mycobacteria. A fungicide in the
peel and pulp of green fruits is active against a fungus disease of
tomato plants.
- Bananas for puree
production ideally should be harvested at the point of maturity. The
puree is used for beverage industry, baby foods, snack foods, jam and
sauces.
- Banana powder has a
great potential for commercialization. It has a high sugar and low
starch content and can be used as a substitute for fresh banana in
making traditional cakes or their premixes as well as in the
processing of banana snacks, crackers or crisps.
- Banana flour is
completely different from banana powder because it is the product which
is obtained after drying and then grinding of the unripe banana.
- The popularity of snack
foods is growing high day by day and potato & banana wafers have emerged
as a potential snack food.
- The demand of handmade
paper is increasing day by day in domestic as well as in international
market. Several varieties of Banana are cultivated in the country. The
plants are cut down as soon as fruits are harvested for extraction of
fibre. Banana fibre has great potentialities for paper making because of
its high alpha-cellulose and low lignin content
