Manufacturing of Banana Wafers (Deep Fried Snack Food). Profitable Food Processing Business Idea.
Banana is a fast growing and high biomass-yielding plant. India is the largest producer of banana next to mango. The major banana producing states are Maharashtra, Kerala, Tamilnadu, Gujarat, Bihar, West Bengal, Assam, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. They are cultivated primarily for their fruit, and to a lesser extent to make fiber and as ornamental plants. The fruit averages 125 grams (0.28 lb), of which approximately 75% is water and 25% dry matter. Each individual fruit (known as a banana or 'finger') has a protective outer layer (a peel or skin) with a fleshy, edible inner portion. Both skin and inner part can be eaten raw or cooked.

Production Process
The Banana Wafer Making Business Plan involves a series of steps that are carried out with the help of a series of steps.
1. First, the bananas are washed and peeled and the outer skin is removed. This procedure is done either by a machine or hand.
2. After the bananas are peeled, now it’s time to slice the bananas into even slices. This process is done with the help of an electronic slicer which slices the bananas with the thickness ranging from 1.8 mm to 2.5 mm.
3. Now the sliced pieces of bananas are transferred into the frying tank where it gets mixed regularly to prevent some pieces to be overcooked.
4. As the banana wafers get removed from the batch frier, they are transferred to the oil sieve. The excess oil gets drained into the oil sieve.
5. Now after this, the wafers get transferred into the dryer. With the help of the air blow, the dryer removes the oil present on the outer layer.
6. After this process is done, all the spices like pepper and salt get mixed in the container and rotated so that it gets spread evenly to all the wafers.
7. Now lastly the chips are weighed and packed in the packets.
