Authors- Jyothika.V, Lovelin Jerald.A

Abstract-Red banana is reviewed as a promising ingredient to develop new and healthy food products in this review, which also shows where food manufacturers can go to open up innovation and market-tailored products. Last but not least food manufacturers can take advantage of the increase in demand for functional as well as healthier products by dealing with the hurdles and limitations arising due to the use of red banana powder. The Red Banana Review provides different food products for red bananas which include baked goods, snacks, beverages, and desserts. Physicochemical, Sensory, and Nutritional Properties of the Products are Evaluated for Influence by Red Banana Powder Effects The potential health advantages of red banana powder-fortified foods, as well as improved digestive health and antioxidant status are also discussed in this context. Red banana, rich in prebiotic fibers, has potential benefits for gut health. However, its powdery form poses challenges in terms of stability and bioavailability. A combination of red banana powder, sweet potato, and Xanthan gum was used to develop a gut-friendly formulation. RSM was employed to optimize the formulation, investigating the effects of ingredient ratios, temperature, and pH on the physical and functional properties of the encapsulated powder. The optimized formulation showed improved stability, solubility, and bioavailability, with enhanced prebiotic activity. Xanthan gum demonstrated excellent binding properties, enhancing the powder’s flowability and compressibility. The results highlight the potential of red banana powder as a gut health supplement, with RSM-optimized formulation and Xanthan gum-based encapsulation enhancing its efficacy. This review provides valuable insights for food manufacturers and researchers seeking to develop gut-friendly products.
