Produktbeschreibung

Banana is a crop considered nutritious for human health. It is eaten raw but some varieties are generally cooked. It can be processed in various ways to store for longer periods and utilise for other purposes like dairy, desserts, bakery items, drinks etc. Only 1.3% of total fruits and vegetables produced in India are processed against 10% in some of the developing countries and 70% in the developed countries. In Assam, due to absence of proper post harvest management system a bulk quantity of the produce gets damaged during the process of handling, transportation and marketing; resulting in 10-25 per cent annual losses. Fruit production in North Eastern region of India is around 21.12 lakh tonnes which accounts for 5.5% of the country's total production where major fruits include banana, citrus, jackfruit etc and other rare fruits .Although fresh bananas are widely consumed in develop countries, the consumption of processed banana products is less than that of other processed fruits. Several attempts to make different processed products of banana. In this respect, the research was carried out to make three products from three local varieties of banana.
