- Banana powder is a
powder made from processed bananas.
- A novel lab-scale
process has been developed at BARC for extraction of juice from
banana and production of banana powder as a
by-product.
- Banana powder (BP)
was added to hard-red spring wheat (HRSW) flour intended for
yeast-leavened bread formulation.
- The processing of
banana into banana powder involved as dipping in warm water,
peeling, slicing, blanching, pulping, dilution and filtering.
The filtered banana juice was spray dried to get the banana
powder.
- In the manufacture
of banana powder, fully ripe banana pulp is converted into a
paste by passing through a chopper followed by a
colloid mill. A 1 or 2 % sodium metabisulphite solution is added
to improve the colour of the final product. Spray- or
drum-drying
may be used, the latter being favoured as all the solids are
recovered.
- Banana powder is
said to be stored for up to a year commercially and flakes have
been stored in vacuum-sealed cans with no deterioration in
moisture, colour or flavour for 12 months.
- Banana powder made
from dried green banana could be stored in an air-tight
container for several months.
- Banana powder
could be utilized to partially substitute imported wheat flour
for a number of products such as pancakes, doughnuts, and bakery
products.
- Ayurvedic doctors
in India have traditionally used dried banana powder to treat
ulcers.
- In animal studies,
banana
powder protects the lining of the stomach from acid.
- It is used as a
component for production of milk shakes and baby foods.
- It is also used in
the manufacture of various types of cakes and biscuits.
- The use of banana
powder in baby formula has been widespread since the very early
1900s as a method of keeping babies healthy.
- Banana products
can be divided roughly into two types, those for direct
consumption, such as figs, and those for use in food
manufacturing industry, for example purees and powder.
- Banana powder,
because of its high concentration of banana essence, has been
found to be a "major source of carbohydrate and calories".
- The United Fruit
Company began to produce a product named Melzo during the 1930s,
in which banana powder was the main ingredient.
- A laboratory has
developed a bench level technology for extracting almost 60 – 70
% of the total soluble materials of banana in the form of its
juice and the left over pulp can be dried into a fine powder.
- In 1984,
scientists from India were able to extract part of the "antiulcer
compounds" found in banana powder, which ended up creating a
type of powder that was "300 times more active" in preventing
ulcers in the stomach.
- It was later
discovered that the banana powder also increased cell growth,
which allowed more rapid healing of the area where ulcers had
previously occurred.
