Presentation Outline

•Plantain (Musa paradisiaca) is a tropical fruit and a
staple crop in Central and West Africa (Akinsanmi et
al., 2015)
• A dietary staple food due to its versatility and good
nutritional value (Abioye et al., 2011)
•Rich in minerals and vitamins (Adeniji et al., 2007),
•Mature fruits (ripe or unripe) are consumed boiled,
steamed, baked, pounded, roasted, etc
3
Background Information

•The unripe plantain has been recommended as a
good diet for diabetic patients (Eleazau et al., 2010).
•Mature unripe plantain is usually processed into dried
chips by sun drying
•Sun drying is a traditional method for food
preservation
•The chips that are produced in Nigeria may be
blanched for consumption after preparation (Amusa,
2001)

•Objectives
•The main objectives of this study seeks to
gather baseline information on the current
processing practices of plantain chips in
selected area of Ondo State
•Achieved through the following;
•Socio and demographic characteristics of the
processors
•Current processing practices and constraints
faced by the processors in the study area
5

Methods
•Survey
•2 LGAs in Ondo State (Akure South and
Idanre)
•10 towns/villages in Akure South and Idanre
LGAs
•Random sampling method was used
•100 processors was interviewed
•A well structured questionnaire was used to
collect data

Conclusion
• Drying of the plantain chips for 6 -
7 days and the use of force toxin
as preservative may affect the
quality and safety of the product
• findings made from this research
can be useful to control product
quality and safety
17

Recommendation
The menace of contamination
during drying by animals needs to
be addressed and use of toxic
substance (force toxin) as
preservative desire intervention to
control product quality and safety
