METHOD FOR OBTAINING BANANA-DERIVED PRODUCTS, IN PARTICULAR FOR LIQUEFYING BANANA TO OBTAIN PURE JUICE

摘要

The invention concerns a method for liquefying bananas to obtain a pure juice, which consists in: peeling the bananas, ensuring that the pulp is separated from the peel while preserving the integrity of the fruit, heating the pulp with oxygen-free steam, so as to enable the fruits to be blanched and an exuded juice to be obtained, cooling the pulp, reducing the pulp into a mash, subjecting the pulp mash to an enzymatic hydrolysis reaction, then pressing it to extract the juice therefrom, subjecting at least part of the exuded juice to reduced pressure so as to cool it and extract therefrom a fraction of flavouring compounds by self-evaporation then condensation of the water and flavours contained therein, and mixing together the juice derived from pressing the pulp, the fraction of flavouring compounds and the cooled exuded juice to obtain said pure juice.
