Overview
Bananas are one of the world’s largest crops after wheat, rice, and corn. Bananas have their origin in Southeast Asia thousand years ago and reached the Americas in the early 1500s where Africans cultivated in plots alongside sugar plantations. Later, Arab traders introduced the fruit to the middle east and east coast of Africa. The northeastern and southern parts of India are the major cultivators of Bananas. Unlike seasonal fruits, Bananas are produced throughout the year. Bananas are predominantly cultivated in Tamilnadu, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka.

Process
Aseptic banana puree is manufactured from high-quality and perfectly ripened cavendish varieties of bananas. The harvested raw banana fruits are transported to our manufacturing facility and the first stage of quality check is done. The banana fruits are sorted, unloaded, and filled in the crates. It is kept in the ripening chamber and the fruits are ripened naturally to maintain the fresh and natural flavour of the fruit. The fruits are washed with chlorinated water initially and then with fresh water to eliminate foreign dust and dirt. The banana is peeled off and inspection is done on the conveyor. The fruits are crushed in the fruit miller to produce banana puree. The banana puree is heated at 85-95 Deg Celsius and stored in the pulp collection tank. The banana puree concentrate is then passed through a metal detector and strainer to remove speck particles. Eventually, the banana puree is packed in aseptic bags in MS drums with a poly liner inside. The product is stored in a temperature-controlled warehouse.
