I am interested in making banana chips. For now, I have a steam -jacketed kettle powered by a boiler, thus, I would like to ask, what is the temperature of the cooking oil while in cooking?
I would also like to ask how much salt will you put per liter of ice-cooled water is soaking the peeled bananas? When you say ice-cooled, what is the temperature?
Do you know of a system to repurify the cooking oil so it can be recycled?
What is the shelflife of banana chips?

Thanks,

Bunny

Instead of frying, make a solar food dehydrator. There are many great plans online. I made one for just over P2,000 (2009 prices). No costs for gas, no need for a stove, pots, pans or anything for that matter. My dehydrator can do 50 kilos at a time and the time it takes to dry them to 90% is about 4 hours in the hot Cebu sun. I also do pineapples, apples, star apples, rambutan, lancunies, papayas and peanuts. I sell them locally by the kilo, often for P250/kilo or less depending on my costs.

As far as the bananas go, I have tried several fruit juices, but I like the taste of pineapple the best. I take fresh pineapple juice and dip the sliced bananas in it for 15 minutes, set out for a couple minutes to let the extra juice evaporate then into the dehydrator fo 4 hours. The banana chips have a bit of a pineapple taste to them and it is really good (the pineapple juice is high in ascorbic acid and keeps the bananas white color intact during dehydration and helps to prevent spoilage.). Then the bananas get set out to cool for 4 hours so the moisture levels can level out and then they get vacuum bagged so I can keep them for up to an entire year before going bad.

healthwise , cooking oil should only be used 2 times as the molecules breaks upon heating, causing free radicals which can harm health; convert used oil into bio fuels.

May I ask question on how many times we can use the cooking oil used for banana chips? considering the high price of cooking oil in business
