Detailed Project Report on banana chips (using microwave drying technology)

BANANA CHIPS
(USING MICROWAVE DRYING TECHNOLOGY)
[CODE NO. 1762]


     Banana  is the one of richest iron source  green  vegetable.  It can be preserved for 3 months or more by reducing moisture in it.  this may be done by drying procedure or  frying  procedure. This is preserving art of green vegetable for long time.

     The keeping quality of food materials is greatly improved by the reduction in their water contents. Fruits, leafy vegetables, meat, fish, and dairy product containing high percentage of water deteriorate more  rapidly than root crops and cereals  which  are comparatively dry.

     Drying by exposure to the sun is the method adopted in several  countries for prolonging the storage life of fruits  and fish.  In India, more food is preserved by sun-drying than by any other means.
