Plantain Blanching Machine Uses

In the plantain processing industry, blanching machines are a crucial pre-treatment piece of equipment. While many are familiar with the basic functions of blanching, such as color preservation, sterilization, and odor removal, they also play a crucial, special role in plantain processing: making plantain easier to peel. This is particularly true when processing green plantain. Why are plantain so difficult to peel? The peel of plantain is tightly bound to the flesh, and the high pectin and fiber content makes the skin tough, making it difficult to peel easily by hand and even more difficult to peel automatically using standard machines. Unlike ripe bananas, green plantain don't naturally soften, so in food processing plants, they often rely on manual peeling. However, manual peeling has significant drawbacks: Low efficiency: Requires a large number of workers to individually…
