Therefore, the need arises to incorporate the lost nutrients, hence banana waste particularly the peel and the stem flour are added to bakery products to enrich with nutrients. All-purpose flour is replaced withbanana (Musa balbisiana) stem and peel flour in formulations and is examined for its compatibility resource for the value addition in food products and to check its nutritional profile along with changes in nutritional content and its acceptability.
