Organic Banana Chips Country of Origin: Philippines Certified Organic Pro-Cert Factoid: Banana Chips Are an Energy-Dense Snack Dried Fruit Organic Banana Chips Country of Origin: Philippines Certified Organic Pro-Cert Factoid: Banana chips are an energy-dense snack. They also provide fibre, potassium, manganese and niacin. They are not to be confused with chifles, which are made from plantains. Allergen Information: This product may contain sulphites. Ingredients: Organic bananas, organic coconut oil and organic sugar Recipe: Banana Chip Cookies Ingredients: 1 3/4 C whole wheat pastry flour 1 C natural cane sugar or brown sugar 1/2 C wheat germ, toasted 2 large eggs 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/2 tsp baking powder 2/3 C banana chips, loosely chopped Scant 1/2 tsp fine grain sea salt 1 C chocolate chips 1/2 C unsalted butter 2/3 C toasted walnuts, chopped Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 375&F, racks in middle or upper-middle levels. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. 2. Whisk together the flour, wheat germ, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Set aside. 3. In a large bowl, or stand mixer, beat the butter until light and fluffy, then beat in the sugar until it is the consistency of a thick frosting. Beat in the eggs one at a time, incorporating each fully before adding the next, and scraping down the sides of the bowl a few times along the way. Stir in the vanilla. Add the reserved flour mix in two increments, stirring/mixing a bit between each addition. Do not stir too much. By hand, stir in the banana chips, chocolate chips and walnuts. Mix just until everything is evenly distributed. 4. Drop 1 heaping tablespoon of dough for each cookie onto the prepared baking sheets 2 inches apart and bake for about 7-8 minutes, until barely golden on top and bottom..

    UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL AGRARIA LA MOLINA ESCUELA DE POSGRADO MAESTRÍA EN TECNOLOGÍA DE ALIMENTOS “PREDICCIÓN DE LA VIDA ÚTIL DE CHIFLES DE PLÁTANOS (Musa paradisiaca) MEDIANTE MODELOS MATEMÁTICOS” Presentada por: JAIME EDUARDO BASILIO ATENCIO TESIS PARA OPTAR EL GRADO DE MAGISTER SCIENTIAE EN TECNOLOGÍA DE ALIMENTOS Lima – Perú 2015 “PREDICCIÓN DE LA VIDA ÚTIL DE CHIFLES DE PLÁTANOS (Musa paradisiaca) MEDIANTE MODELOS MATEMÁTICOS” RESUMEN Se realizó el modelamiento de la vida útil de chifles de plátano a diferentes condiciones de almacenamiento, obteniéndose un software para predecir la vida útil considerando dos factores de calidad: pérdida de crocantez por ganancia de humedad y rancidez oxidativa. La ganancia de humedad fue modelado con la isoterma de sorción, ley de Fick y ley de Henry. El modelo obtenido fue integrado por el método de Simpson para obtener el tiempo de vida que es tiempo para llegar a la actividad de agua crítica (awc) que fue obtenido por evaluación sensorial. Se encontró que la isoterma de sorción es de tipo II ajustándose mejor al modelo Smith (R² > 0,99), la awc es 0,4676, el tiempo de vida predicha por ganancia de humedad oscila entre 41,5 a 386,2 días, disminuyendo cuando la temperatura, humedad relativa y permeabilidad del empaque aumentan. La determinación de tiempo de vida por rancidez se realizó por pruebas aceleradas a 30, 40, 50 y 55°C, evaluándose el valor de peróxido (PV), determinándose el orden de reacción (n), velocidad de reacción (K) y la energía de activación (Ea), estableciéndose el modelo de deterioro, con el valor inicial y el límite de valor de peróxido de 10 meq 02/kg se realizó la predicción de vida útil.

  • Risk/Benefit Evaluation of Traditional and Novel Formulations for Snacking: Acrylamide and Furfurals As Process Contaminants
    Risk/benefit evaluation of traditional and novel formulations for snacking: Acrylamide and furfurals as process contaminants M. Mesías, C. Delgado-Andrade, F.J. Morales Institute of Food Science, Technology and Nutrition, ICTAN-CSIC, Madrid 28040, Spain ABSTRACT Novel alternatives for snacking contain ingredients such as pseudo-cereals, roots or legumes, which offer health related benefits to consumers. Alternative technological processes have been introduced within the snack industry that encompass valued sensorial characteristics and improve nutritional quality of the new formulations. However, the impact of the novel formulations on the exposure to process contaminants must also be carefully evaluated. The present study investigated the occurrence of acrylamide, hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and furfural in novel formulations and compared this with that seen in traditional snacks. Some novel snacks presented high levels of acrylamide, specifically chips with a potato- based dough (1252–1393 µg/kg) and chips made from other vegetables (carrot chips: 958 µg/kg; beet chips: 908 µg/kg). These samples demonstrated concentrations that exceeded those observed in traditional snacks (44–671 µg/kg). The average values of HMF and furfural in the novel formulations were also significantly higher than traditional ones (approximately 2.5- and 3-fold, respectively). The snack manufacturing industry should consider the nutritional and sensorial improvements gained through the application of alternative technological process or the addition of health-promoting ingredients in the design of innovative snacks. This must be considered alongside toxicological aspects which reduce the content of process contaminants. KEYWORDS: Traditional snacks, Acrylamide, Hydroxymethylfurfural, Furfural, Exposure, Food analysis, Food composition 1. INTRODUCTION The consumption of snacks has increased in recent decades, becoming part of the dietary habits and lifestyle of many consumers (MAPAMA, 2017).

  • Evaluation and Utilization of Different Banana
    SCREENING FOR POTENTIAL UTILIZATION OF DIFFERENT BANANAS AND PLANTAINS FOR CHIPS PROCESSING Lydia P. De Leon and May P. Loquias Bureau of Plant Industry - Davao National Crop Research and Development Center, Bago Oshiro, Davao City ABSTRACT Screening for the potential utilization of bananas and plantains for chips processing was conducted on January – December 2009 at the Bureau of Plant Industry – Davao National Crop Research and Development Center, Bago Oshiro, Davao City. Seven dessert and fourteen cooking varieties were evaluated. Through sensory evaluation, the acceptability of the different varieties of bananas and plantains for chips processing was determined. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences among the varieties in terms of taste, color, crispiness and overall acceptability. But numerically, chips from FHIA 17 and FHIA 18 were the most acceptable among the dessert varieties and chips from “Inambak” were the most acceptable among the cooking varieties. Among the dessert varieties, Kluai Namwa Khom gave the highest chips recovery rate of 40.0 percent per kilogram of raw unripe fruits and among the cooking varieties, “Tindok” gave the highest chips recovery rate of 61.6 percent. Having bigger bunches and fruits, FHIA 17 gave the highest computed chips yield among the dessert varieties of 9.72 kgs per bunch. Among the cooking varieties the Check variety “Cardaba” gave the highest chips yield of 11.00 kgs per bunch. Small-bunched but big-fruited, “Tindok” also gave higher chips yield per bunch of 7.39 kgs. Having a shorter planting to harvest period, higher chips yield per bunch, higher overall acceptability and consumers’ preference, the use of the cooking plantain “Tindok” for chips processing, early return on investment could be realized.
