Since starch content is low in ripe banana peel (Emaga et al., 2007), the viscosity and texture of ripe flour could have been attributed mostly by hemicelluloses and pectin polysaccharides. This explanation is acceptable since banana peel contain a vast quantity of dietary fibre, mainly hemicelluloses and pectin polysaccharides (Emaga et al., 2007; Zhang et al., 2005).
