Abstract

Colombia produces big quantities of banana to export, but a quantity rated between 10% and 20% is rejected because it does not fulfill the required quality standards. Those rejected bananas can not be used to feed animals, because they are containing tannins, which are anti-nutritional substances, and then those bananas get rotten in the farms, causing environmental problems and economical loses for the producers. An alternative for the use of green bananas as animal food is the reduction of their tannin contents by the use of solid-state fermentation, a very advantageous procedure under economical and process efficiency terms.
