Banana Flour Of Leather, Food Cheap and Very Rich Nutrition

Banana Flour Of Leather, Food Cheap and Very Rich Nutrition


Banana peel is often thrown away in any place. If carelessly discarded, then the banana peel can make people slip.
 
However, three students of biology Ten November Institute of Technology (ITS) Surabaya after conducting a series of studies have found that banana peel results can not be underestimated.
 
"Banana skin that is often considered worthless goods, it was found to have vitamin C, B, calcium, protein, and fat is also sufficient," said Sulfahri, one of three researchers.
 
Seeing the content of useful substances is high enough, then he and two colleagues were trying to make snacks of banana skin material.
 
"Initially, we only manufacture chips banana peel, but eventually the idea arose to make flour from banana skin," he said.
 
Students of 2007, said the banana flour was finally used as a raw material sponge cake. Despite repeatedly failed, but eventually they found the right formula to make the cake of a banana skin.
"If calculated more than 50 times, but we are now satisfied with the cake recipe that we have," he said.
Banana skin match made flour is a type of plantain, plantain skin is thicker than other types of bananas.
Sulfahri works and two colleagues was one of the innovative work that was selected in the screening for "Biological Opus Fair" 
 
Eight innovative products on display are the works entitled "Utilization of Banana Fruit Leather King (musa paradisiaca sapientum) in Cake Making Material Bolu" (the work of the Department of Biology Sulfahri ITS), and "Water Electric Light Trap (WEL-T) as a Substitute Pesticide Efforts Peningatan in Environment-Friendly Food Production "(paper Resti Afiandinie of Chemical Engineering Department ITS).

Another work is "Administrative Talok (Muntingia calabura Linn) as One Source of New Alternatives in the World of Food" (Linda Fitri Sari from Muhammadiyah University of Malang), then "Potential Suweg (Amorphophallus campanulatus Bl.) As an Alternative Food Ingredients (Exploring the Potential for Food Efforts Local) "(Riana Dyah Suryaningrum from Muhammadiyah University of Malang).
 
In addition there are other works, such as "Solid Waste Conversion Products Being Green" (Sulistiono Ningsih from the Department of Biology at the University of Jember), "Utilization of Microalgae (Phytoplankton) as a Source of Fuel Substitution Premium" (Abdul Azis Jaziri from the Department of Fisheries in the UB poor), "Diversification Dioscorea Flour as Alternative Sources of Food" (Zainal Arifin from the Department of Biology ITS), then "Utilization of fruit and leaf cersen / talok as chips and lunkhead" (Ria of Biology Department of Biological ITS).
 
Not unlike the Sulfahri, Zaenal Arifin also try to make diversification of food from tuber material uwi.
"Bulbs called latin Dioscorea alata turned out to be food safe for diabetics. Uwi sugar levels are low, but high in carbohydrates, "said student majoring in Biology ITS it.
 
Uwi processing into flour that did not require a complicated process, even just using traditional methods.
 
"I made from two kinds of uwi, uwi uwi white and purple which are equally low sugar yield. Uwi coarse grated, then marinated with lime water to separate the grater with the resin. Uwi it could sap water for pesticides that are environmentally friendly, "he said.
 
Grater that has been dried, he says, can be directly processed into flour. "Flour from uwi can be used as a raw material of various kinds of snacks, like cakes and noodles. Sense of its own flour fresh, so easy to be varied, "he said.
 
Not only food products, the duo of Chemical Engineering students also carry the work of ITS Surabaya named WEL-T (Electric Light Water-Trap).
 
Traps for insects in the rice cultivating it only takes one week only. "The idea was originally from mosquito racket," says Achmad Ferdiansyah, accompanied by his colleague, Resti Afiandinie.
Methods of mosquito racket was coupled with the traditional tools for catching moths. Communities often use oil lamps and a basin of water to catch insects.
 
"The method is also less dangerous and impractical, therefore we use a light shining purple as a decoy insect. Emission wavelength of violet light the shortest, so that the eye-catching insects. So enamored of light, the insects will be exposed to the sting of the electric wires and eventually fell into the bath water, "he said.
 
According to him, WEL-T was effective for pest sundep. Among farmers, pest sundep very harmful because the reproductive process is very fast and attack the rice plant.
 
"Violet rays is 800 feet radius, so that for one hectare of paddy fields need 12 pieces WEL-T, but if the pesticide is still more than 300 thousand-a-efficient, because the cost of making only Rp190 thousand, let alone the WEL-T is more environmentally friendly , "he said.
 
Not only attractive and inexpensive, innovative product exhibits a Java student will also lift the image of Indonesia, since most of the eight innovative work selected will represent Indonesia in entrepenuership in Japan
