Embodiment Construction

[0052] refer to figure 1 , which is a flow chart showing the processing steps according to one embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] Step 1: Decontamination Tank

[0054] The first step involves passing the bananas through a decontamination tank. The decontamination tank holds a fluid such as water or a mild sanitizing solution for removing foreign matter such as bugs and sap from the exterior of the banana. The use of a mild sanitation solution in the decontamination tank is also used to sanitize and / or sterilize the bananas prior to subsequent processing.

[0055] Step 2: Remove Flower Tips

[0056] The second step involves removing the banana tip including flower residue. Flower residues and tips may contain toxins such as mold, and bacteria and other pathogens. Removing the tip avoids contamination of the final product, whether it is a food product, a medicinal product, a cosmetic or a dietary supplement derived from the banana pulp, or a product derived f...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of processing plant material to provide products such as food products, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and fertilizers. In particular, the invention relates to the processing of fruit and vegetable material to provide a product that can be used as a food source, dietary supplement or a pharmaceutical. Even more particularly, the inventionrelates to processing of green bananas such that the flesh and skin can be processed through separate streams.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method of processing plant material to provide products such as food products, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and fertilizers. In particular, the present invention relates to the processing of fruit and vegetable materials to provide products that can be used as food sources, dietary supplements or pharmaceuticals. Even more specifically, the present invention relates to processing green bananas so that the pulp and peel can be processed via separate streams. Background technique [0002] It is widely agreed that the prevalence of obesity has been increasing in industrialized countries. There are many factors that contribute to the increase in obesity, however, an important factor is lack of energy balance, especially when energy intake (food and drink) is greater than energy used (breathing, digestion, performing physical activity). Simply put, the combination of plentiful high-calorie foods and in...
