STUDIES ON BANANA NUTRITION: FUNCTION AND PROCESSING KINETICS | PLANT CELL BIOTECHNOLOGY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

 The banana is one of the most widely cultivated tropical fruits in the world. Carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins abound in this fruit. It is a low-cost carbohydrate source, but due to its limited shelf life, it results in significant post-harvest losses. To extend the banana fruit's postharvest shelf life, proper postharvest handling procedures must be followed to preserve the produce's freshness. During the glut season, however, the fruit can be processed into intermediate products such as puree and concentrate, which can then be used throughout the year. In addition, converting bananas into value-added products prevents nutritional losses and can aid in the fight against malnutrition, especially in developing countries. One of the most important aspects of converting bananas into value-added goods is their processing. This paper examines the various postharvest handling processes as well as processed banana products.
