“…Starch gel (5%, w/w dry basis, total weight 28 g) was prepared by heating at 95 °C for and solubility in cold water (ZHANG et al, 2005). One of the reasons for such interest is the fact that native starch, despite being a good texture stabilizer and regulator in food systems, has limitations such as low resistance and thermal decomposition and high tendency to retrogradation, which limits its use in some industrial applications (HERMANSSON;SVEGMARK, 1996).…”

“…Of all the bananas harvested about one-fifth are wasted and those rejected bananas are often improperly disposed of. It is estimated that close to 220 t of waste are generated per hectare of harvested banana, which are composed mainly of lignocellulosic material (Guyle´Ne et al, 2009;Zhang et al, 2005). Such waste contains from 8% to 18% of total solids and 86% to 92% of volatile solids, approximately.…”

Banana is an agricultural product of great economic importance for various developing countries. The relationship between moisture content and water activity provides useful information for the processing and storage of banana waste. The water activity and moisture content of three banana (Mussa spp. Haploid AAB cv. Nanica) waste items were analyzed to determine the desorption isotherms at six different temperatures (20, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 70°C). The desorption isotherms of the peel, pedicel and pulp of overripe bananas were determined in wide ranges of moisture content (0.001-6.360 kg kg-1 d.b.) and water activity (0.02-0.907). The theoretical GAB model was used for modelling the desorption isotherms. An analytical solution of the Clausius-Clapeyron equation was proposed to compute the isosteric heat of sorption, the differential entropy and Gibbs' free energy by way of the GAB model when the effect of temperature on the hygroscopic equilibrium was considered.

“…When ripened green banana starch is converted to reducing sugars and sucrose, at 33.6% and 53.2% respectively [6]. Subsequently, if batch fermented, this has been shown to yield 0.07 litres of ethanol per kg of ripened banana feedstock without the use of hydrolyzing enzy mes [7].…”

There is much in the scientific literature regarding the energy value of bioethanol, whether it is sustainable as a transition fuel and what impacts the production could have on food resource availability. This paper addresses these issues through the development of an energy self-sufficient ethanol plant. The plant utilizes waste Musa spp (banana) as the feed stock thereby making no additional demands food production. Solar energy and bioenergy provide thermal and electrical inputs to the process. The energy return on investment for this plant was calculated and a financial model drawn up to determine the economic feasibility of the plant. In one scenario, the operational cost of ethanol production is £0.39/litre with a profit before tax of £44,000 per year for a 460,000 lit re facility. This scenario results in a maximu m selling price for ethanol of £0.45/ litre at an IRR of 11% for a 15 year operation which is comparable to current petrol prices. Furthermore, the process used is very simp le and appropriate for s mall developing countries. The study focuses on the island of St. Lucia which is a banana producing state in the West Indies and concludes that establishment of an ethanol plant is possible with the right financial support with the benefit of reducing imports of petroleu m products, improving the balance of payments and creating emp loyment.
