ate University (. It has been shown that maximal biomass yields with Pichia spartinae under optimal conditions were 5% on

ripe banana pulp liquid and 5% on ripe banana skin liquid. Amino acid analysis of the protein revealed high lysinecontent

and an essential amino acid pattern comparing favorably with those of the FAOreference protein (. Fermentation of whole banana waste

liquor for lactic acid production has been inves- tigated (. Fermentation of sugar in whole banana waste using mixed heterogenousinoculum

was better than that of the axenic or mixed inoculum because lactic acid is the main product of fermentation. 2.2.2 Other Products number of products have been developed from banana waste at the Central Food Tech- nological Research Institute (CFTRI) in Mysore, India (. About 1 banana plants isestimated to yield 2 tonnes pseudostem. The inner core, which is tender, is used as vegetable. The pseudostem contains about 5% starch, which is used for eating purposes and for sizing in the textile industry. The pseudostem is crushed and stirred after mixingwith water. The extract is sieved to remove the ber, and the starch is allowed to settle.The settled starch is washed several times and dried. By-Products of Fruits and Vegetables 8 The banana bunch, after removal of fruits, yields 8%1% of the stem portion, which has very little commercial value. After steam processing under pressure it can beused as deworming feed for pigs. The stem as well as the pseudostem bers can be usedfor making paper (. Hygienically collected peels of ripe bananas can be processed intomurraba , type of sweet product. Cooked banana skins are dipped in 4 Brix syrup, the concentration of which is gradually increased to 7 Brix or more. The product is cooked and packed into bottles (. 2.3 Citrus Oranges, mandarins, limes, lemons, pomelos, and grapefruit belong to the citrus family. The world production of oranges in 1 was 6.8 million tonnes (Table . Brazil is the largest produce
