Promising Green Banana and Plantain Genotypes for Making Flour.Pesquisa Melhores Opções Para Produzir Farinha Food Technology/ Original Article ISSN 1678-3921 Journal homepage: www.embrapa.br/pab Promising green banana For manuscript submission and journal contents, access: www.scielo.br/pab and plantain genotypes for making flour Abstract – The objective of this work was to characterize banana and plantain genotypes and to identify the most promising for flour production. Sixteen plantain genotypes and four banana cultivars were evaluated for dry matter content and flour yield. The obtained flours were characterized by color (L*, C*, and h*) and by moisture, total and resistant starch, ash, protein, lipid, and fiber contents. A low genetic variability was observed among plantains for the evaluated physicochemical and nutritional characteristics. The Chifre de Vaca, Comprida, Terra Ponta Aparada, Trois Vert, Terrinha, and Terra Maranhão plantains showed the highest dry matter contents and flour yield. The Chifre de Vaca, Comprida, Curare Enano, Mongolo, Trois Vert, and Terra Maranhão plantains and the 'Pacovan', 'Prata Anã', 'BRS Platina', and 'BRS SCS Belluna' bananas had resistant starch levels above 60%. The flour from Ronielli Cardoso Reis(1 ) , 'BRS SCS Belluna' presented the highest contents of ash, protein, and fiber, as Eliseth de Souza Viana(1) , well as the lowest caloric value. Considering dry matter content, flour yields, Stephanie Lima Ferreira de Assis(2) , and resistant starch, the Chifre de Vaca, Comprida, Trois Vert, and Terra Luise de Oliveira Sena(3) , Maranhão plantains are the best options to produce flour. From a nutritional (2) Andrea dos Santos de Souza and point of view, 'BRS SCS Belluna' is a good option for producing flour rich in Edson Perito Amorim(1) resistant starch, mineral, protein, and fiber contents.

Research conducted in July-September 2010 and mature green bananas were collected from the farmer’s field of Pardasuka Village, Ketibung District, South Lampung Regency. Research conducted using randomized design with four banana types , a). Janten, b). Kepok Manado, c). Muli and d), Raja Nangka.. Analyses carried out on rendement, nutritional value, total sugar and whiteness. Organoleptic test was done for knowing customer preferences (color, flavor and texture) by 20 panelists with score 1 to 7 (very not like s/d really like). Results showed that rendement of BF from Janten was the highest (range of recovery 35-36%) followed by BF from Raja Nangka (20-21%), Kepok Manado (20%) and Muli (16-17%). The highest total sugar was BF from Muli i.e .7.784% followed by Raja Nangka (4.985%), Kepok Manado (4.961%) and Janten (3.732%), whereas whiteness ranges from 42.85 to 61, 55% with the highest levels of whiteness of BF from Kepok Manado (61.55%), followed Janten (54%), Raja Nangka (43.25%) and the lowest of Muli (42.85%).

From the unborn foetus to adulthood, the need for sustainable access to micronutrient-rich foods is pertinent and the global consumption of banana and plantain fruits, in effect, contributes to the alleviation of the scourge of malnutrition. This review is particularly aimed at evaluating the pharmacological dimensions through the biological mechanisms of Musa fruits in the body, which represent correlations with their constituent micronutrient factors and dietary polyphenolic constituents such as minerals, vitamin members, anthocyanins, lutein, α-,β- carotenes, neoxanthins and cryptoxanthins, epi- and gallo catechins, catecholamines, 3-carboxycoumarin, β-sitosterol, monoterpenoids, with series of analytical approaches for the various identified compounds being highlighted

A low-fat formulation substituting 12% pork fat with 24% banana peel flour was also studied. Sausages were stored at 4 ◦C/15 days. Cooking loss was low (5.6–4.1%) in all formulations and the substitution of wheat flour with banana flour did not modify moisture and protein composition, while carbohydrate, fiber, and ashes varied with the flour composition. In the low-fat sausages, fiber carbohydrate and ashes increased the most.

Wheat flour (type 500) was replaced with 1%, 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% of BP. Control pasta without BP addition was also prepared. Pasta quality parameters including texture, colour, cooking characteristics and sensory evaluation were determined. Total phenolics content and antioxidant activity were also evaluated. The increase in BP in the pasta recipe resulted in an increase in the weight increase index (from 2.88 to 3.55) and cooking loss (from 5.2% to 6.4%). The effects of the addition of bananas were also observed in changes in colour coordinates. It was shown that BP slightly decreased the lightness of cooked pasta and had little influence on colour coordinates of raw pasta. It was also found that the addition of BP higher than 3% decreased pasta firmness.

  • (Musa Paradisiaca) Banana Peel in Fresh Pasta
    Incorporation of Saba... 6 INCORPORATION OF SABA (MUSA PARADISIACA) BANANA PEEL IN FRESH PASTA Jolina Mae C. Aguilar1, Abe Rose E. Baria1, and Christine O. Cruz, MSFS2,a 1Bachelor of Science in Business Administration Major in Food Technology Area, College of Business Administration and Accountancy 2Faculty Member, Food Technology Area, College of Business Administration and Accountancy [email protected] ABSTRACT Saba or Cardaba is one of the locally grown species of banana in the Philippines. It is frequently used in making desserts such as cakes, chips, banana cues, and turon. Oftentimes after using, the saba's peel serves no other purpose and is just thrown away. In this light, this study aims to produce flour from saba peel and use it as partial substitute to semolina flour in generating fresh pasta. In addition, the study aims to identify its nutritive quality through proximate and microbial analysis, its acceptability using 9- point hedonic scale, and its production cost. The saba peel was first dried at 60O C for 8 hours using a cabinet dryer. Afterwards, it was ground, and then mixed with semolina flour in varying saba peel flour to semolina flour percentage (0%, 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% saba peel flour). Using sensory evaluation, it was found out that the fresh pasta with 20% saba peel flour obtained the highest result in terms of aroma, flavor, texture and general acceptability. Consecutively, analysis of the nutritive quality of the freshly cooked pasta showed that the 20% saba peel pasta exhibited higher content of ash (0.88%), moisture (62.4%), total fat (6.4%) and total dietary fiber (0.85% for soluble fiber and 4.9% for insoluble fiber) as compared to the Semolina pasta.
