INTRODUCTION

The food industry continually develops new products by keeping up with consumer
preferences, which are shifting more and more toward ready-to-eat foods. Freshly
cut fruits and vegetables are at the top of every consumer's list among these.

identify new approaches to product creation.
Since the beginning of mankind's civilization, bread has been a staple food that
has been prepared using a wide range of ingredients and techniques (Vilasrao D.T,
2019). It was prepared using flour and water to produce dough and baked using an
oven or the traditional wood-fired oven or the so-called Pugon. The patisserie
industry includes a wide range of breads and pastries. The sweet patisseries market
is experiencing a wave of innovation that includes the revival of old classics, the
rise of the individual portion, and new dining occasions to enjoy them. As a
result, a subset of modern, urban "foodies" has emerged, who regard baking and
cooking as a form of art, an extension of self.
The banana plant, widely regarded as nature's gift to mankind, is well known for

wonder food, it is still underrated in most of the world. Therefore, the present
time demands to increase the awareness about banana blossom as it will not only
reduce banana waste but will also help people all over the world, reap its health
benefits.
