Green Banana RS

Green bananas are a versatile, naturally sourced raw material with a nutritional profile that makes them attractive to the functional food industry. 

Processing them yields green banana powder, a practical alternative for incorporating this ingredient into mixes, beverages, baked goods, snacks, and other formulations, while also providing the unique properties of this fruit in its unripe state.

One of its most interesting components is resistant starch, a type of carbohydrate that is not completely digested in the small intestine and reaches the colon, where it can be fermented by the gut microbiota.

For this reason, green bananas have become an ingredient of interest for the development of products aimed at functional nutrition and digestive well-being, especially in formulations that seek to incorporate plant-based sources of fiber and resistant starch.
