Air-drying characteristics of plantain (Musa AAB)

Journal of Food Engineering, 1998
Abstract The drying behaviour, shrinkage and moisture distribution within cylindrical pieces of plantain, of varying thickness, and with different air temperatures, were studied in an experimental hot-air drier. By means of response surface methodology the influence of air temperature and thickness of the pieces on the drying rates was established ...

Improving plantain (Musa spp. AAB) yields on smallholder farms in West and Central Africa [PDF]

Food Security, 2014
Plantain is an important staple in West and Central Africa, where it is predominantly grown by smallholder farmers. On-farm data are rare but yields are considered to be low. We collated actual yields in the region, reviewed regional plantain research published from 1976 to 2013, then estimated what yields would be attainable on smallholder farms if ...

Explants Size Response to in Vitro Propagation of Musa (Aaa Group) ‘Amritsagar’ Musa (Aab Group) ‘Malbhog’ and Musa (Aab Group) ‘Chenichampa’ Banana

Indian Journal of Applied Research, 2011
In vitro propagation of Musa (AAA group) 'Amritsagar', Musa (AAB group) 'Malbhog' and Musa (AAB group) 'Chenichampa' was carried out using sword sucker explants. The effect of three different sizes of explants (5, 10 and 20 mm) on the establishment of banana in micropropagation was investigated.

Moisture sorption isotherm characteristics of plantain (Musa, AAB)

Journal of Food Engineering, 2000
Abstract Moisture sorption isotherms of fresh, pre-treated and freeze-dried plantain, at 40°C, 50°C and 60°C, were constructed using the static gravimetric method. The pre-treatment involved blanching and infusion in 40° Brix sucrose at 4°C for 16 h. The isotherms of the fresh plantain were of BET type II, while those of the freeze-dried samples were

Optimization of plantain (Musa AAB) micropropagation by temporary immersion system

Plant Cell, Tissue and Organ Culture, 2005
The positive and reliable effect of temporary immersion systems on in vitroshoot proliferation was already proved for different plant genera and it is now presented as an alternative for plantain micropropagation. Some culture parameters affecting the efficiency of the twin flasks system or temporary immersion bioreactor (Escalona et al., 1999) were ...

Effect of blanching and ripening on functional properties of plantain (Musa aab) flour

Plant Foods for Human Nutrition, 1999
Flours were prepared from raw and blanched samples of unripe and ripe mature plantain Musa aab and examined for their proximate composition, physical characteristics and functional properties. The plantain flours contained 3.5 g crude protein, 2.5-3.5 g crude fat, 5.7-7.1 g moisture, 1.33-2.0 g crude fiber, 1.66-2.0 g ash, and 82.25-86.07 g ...

Effect of chemical modification on molecular structure and functional properties of Musa AAB starch

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, 2015
Starch extracted from Musa AAB (poovan banana) was subjected to acetylation, acid-thinning and oxidation. The effect of the treatments on molecular structure and functional properties of starch were analysed. Chemical composition revealed that non-starch components were reduced after chemical treatment.
