• Tender fresh banana stem is sliced (4mm thick)
  and soaked in 0.25 per cent citric acid solution
  to prevent browning (12 ratio).
• The slices are softened by pressure cooking for

• The slices are removed from the syrup on the
  second day another 75 per cent of sugar is added
  to the syrup and boiled.
• The partially soaked banana stem slices are again
  added into the syrup (cooled) and kept for

• During the fourth day citric acid is added while
  boiling the sugar syrup and cooled.
• Potassium meta bi sulphite is added to the syrup
  and mixed before adding the slices.
• The banana stem slices are allowed to soak for 7
  days in the sugar syrup for the maximum sugar
  penetration into them.
• The slices are removed from the syrup washed with
  warm water to remove the surface sugar syrup
  coating and dried at room temperature.
• Powdered sugar is sprinkled on the partially

• Paper industry
• In this modern age, the consumption of paper and
  boards has increased tremendously.
  Conventionally, paper is manufactured from
  cellulosic materials like bamboo, hardwood,
  cotton rags, etc.
• Agricultural residues of non-woody nature like
  cotton stalks, wheat straw, rice straw, sorghum
  stalks, hemp, jute, etc., are possible raw
  materials which could be used for paper and board
  making
• However, all these require to be digested at
  high temperature and pressure, employing energy
  consumptive and costly processes.
• Thus the search for other raw materials and cost
  effective processes continues.

Banana fiber extraction
Banana Fiber is extracted from Banana tree bark.
The trunk is peeled. Brown-green skin is thrown
away retaining the cleaner or white portion which
will be processed into knotted fibers. The fibers
are extracted through hand extraction machine
composed of either serrated or non serrated
knives The peel is clamped between the wood
plank and knife and hand-pulled through, removing
the resinous material The extracted fibers are
sun-dried which whitens the fiber.

• Agro waste utilization
• Banana peels and beet waste are readily available
  agricultural waste, yet they seem to be under
  utilized as potential growth medium for local
  yeast strain, despite their rich carbohydrate
  content and other basic nutrients that can
  support yeast growth.
• The indigenous yeast with good fermentation
  attributes, which may enhance ethanol yield and
  minimize cost of production, could be obtained
  from ripe banana peels.
