Banana flour is a powdered product made from bananas through drying and grinding. It retains the natural flavor and nutrients of bananas and is widely used in food processing, baking, beverages and other fields.
Why Do We Process Bananas Into Banana Flour?
- Extend shelf life: Fresh bananas are perishable, and powder can significantly extend the shelf life, making it easier to store and transport.
- Add value: Banana flour is easy to mix with other raw materials and is suitable for a variety of food processing such as baking, beverages, and baby food.
- Retain nutrients: During the processing, banana powder retains nutrients such as potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber in bananas, making it suitable as a nutritional supplement.
Banana Flour Production Process:
Peeling – Slicing – Color Protection – Drying – Powder grinding – Packing
- Peeling: Usually manual peeling is used to ensure that the banana pulp is intact and reduce waste.
- Slicing: Cut the peeled banana into uniform thin slices for subsequent drying and crushing.
- Color protection: Use color protectants (such as citric acid, etc.) to soak the banana slices to prevent oxidation and discoloration and maintain the color.
- Drying: Use hot air drying to remove moisture for easy crushing and storage.
- Crushing: Crush the dried banana slices into fine powder to ensure that the powder is fine and uniform.
- Packaging: The banana powder is sealed and packaged, usually using moisture-proof and anti-oxidation materials to extend the shelf life.
Main Banana Flour Processing Machines :
- Banana slicing machine: cuts bananas into slices evenly (thickness adjustable) to improve drying efficiency.
- Banana slice drying machine: often uses hot air dryer, with adjustable temperature, efficient water removal, so that the moisture content of banana slices is reduced to ≤5%
- Banana powder grinding machine: grinds dried banana slices into powder, with adjustable crushing fineness, generally 80-200 mesh, closed crushing, reducing dust pollution.
- Banana flour packaging machine: according to different packaging requirements, you can choose different packaging methods, bagging, bottled, etc.
Banana Flour Production Line Features:
Reduce loss and high powder yield: Precisely control slice thickness and drying time, reduce raw material waste, improve finished product rate, reduce powder agglomeration, improve final product quality, and avoid unnecessary loss.
Easy to mass produce and expand the market: The banana flour production line can achieve 24-hour continuous production to meet the needs of export and large-scale market supply. The unified product standards make it easier to pass export food certification and open up the international market.
Number of people needed to set up a banana powder processing plant: Take a 500kg/h plant as an example, it will require about 15-20 workers and a 500 square meter plant
