Composition of crackers made from banana peel

Abstract

This utility model discloses the composition of crackers using banana peel as the primary ingredient, addressing the problem of food waste and under utilization of nutrient-rich banana peels. The process involves blending banana peel with cassava starch, water, oil, white pepper, sugar, and salt to form a dough, which is then shaped, sun dried and fried to achieve crispy crackers. The innovation provides a sustainable and nutritious snack, high in fiber and antioxidants, while offering an economical alternative to conventional crackers. The crackers can be consumed as a standalone snack or paired with dips, and the method allows flexibility in production based on consumer preferences. This model is particularly useful in the food industry, where it encourages food waste reduction and promotes healthier snack options. The method's distinct advantage is the combination of banana peel and cassava starch, which differentiates it from traditional crackermaking processes.
