LABORATORY REPORT NO.3
“Dried Banana Chips”
I. Introduction
Banana is one of the Philippines' most prolific fruit crops. It is also a source of
income for farmers. It has a wide range of applications and can be transformed into a
variety of products. Processing bananas into various goods, in addition to exporting them,
may provide additional income to banana farmers. These fruits are high in fiber,
antioxidants, and nutrients, which can help minimize free radical damage and lower your
risk of certain diseases. Unripe bananas, on the other hand, are high in resistant starch,
which may improve insulin sensitivity. More study, however, is needed. Banana chips are
one of the examples of processed bananas in the country. Banana chips are crisp banana
slices eaten as a snack. Moreover, banana chips are a quick source of energy and are easy
to pack. Deep-fried, baked, sun-dried, and dehydrated are the different methods of
producing banana chips. They're ideal for camping or hiking because of their long shelf
life. Sun-dried banana chips are a common snack. They are produced by sun-drying banana
slices on trays. If available, a solar dryer or cabinet dryer can be used to produce higher-
quality banana chips.
II. Objectives
1. To make dried banana chips through sun drying
2. To dry the bananas up to a minimum moisture level and preserve it for longer shelf
life
3. To be able to produce dried banana chips at low cost that can be an advantage in
having profit out of selling it
