waste utilization of food products and converted into various
innovative products such as banana flour. The banana flour is a
powder made of green bananas which are often used as a replacement
for wheat flour. It promotes the growth of good bacteria in the gut
and can also assist with weight loss. It is mostly used in India and
Africa as a cheaper alternative to wheat flour. It has a texture
similar to wheat flour and also requires about 25% less volume. The
banana flour is produced from banana when the fruit is unripe as it
is rich in dietary fiber, resistant starch, and aids in colon health.
Apart from these, it also helps to minimize postharvest losses,
prevention of osteoporosis by increasing the absorption of calcium
and other minerals and retains the nutritive value of fresh bananas.
