 Introduction
India is the second largest producer of fruit in the
world. Banana (Musa acuminata) is the second most
important fruit crop in India after mango. Banana fruit is
a delicate highly perishable fruit, whose production is
subjected to serious postharvest problems including
premature ripening, losses due to diseases, mechanical
damages such as bruising, poor quality due to
inappropriate ripening environments and losses in
different markets due to its limited shelf life (Deka and
Choudhury, 2006)
• Research objectives:
to know the influence of blanching on the characteristics of
dehydrates sliced dried raw bananas at different temperatures.
• Background:
India is the second largest fruit producer in the the world, for
example bananas. Banana (musa acuminata) are plants the
second important fruit mango.
• Subject of research:
green bananas (Musa acuminata)
 Technique data collection
Sample preparation, green bananas which will be used
is obtained from the market as raw material. Prepare a
tool to be used, the various tools used to research from
beginning to end i.e. slicer used to cut bananas into
slices. Mixer or blender to mix food
products. Tray dryer to remove moisture from
the banana slices of pale. The screen for the separation
of the fiber and pulp of banana starch solution used.
 Research result
The results of this research show
the influence of blaching on the levels of water and
dehydration of raw sliced bananas. Comparison
of water
content of flour banana varieties showed significantly h
igher during
the blanching temperature 50. Storage ofvalues – the
values reported can be attributed to variations in
temperature.
 Advantages
Journal writing regularly in accordance with the
order of writing journals in General. The series
of observations presented using tables and graphs so
that it becomes clear to the reader with material that is
used in described in
detail (get this materials used in) the
observations presented use graphs and tables to
answer the purpose of the research conducted.
 A shortage of
1.On the abstract contains no "Discussion"
due to the abstract anew it contains:
Introduction, Methods, Result and Discussion
2. The
introduction contains no reason research, because
usually in the writing of the preface contains the
rationale of the research will be undertaken
3. There is no suggestion that which describes the
limitations of the research that has been done so
that you can apply to researchers who want to do this
experiment.
