For the study, rachis from Cavendish banana trees were ground into a slurry, which was then spread out into a thin sheet and allowed to dry. The resulting "banana paper" – which consisted mainly ...

Robin Zuluaga Gallego put those rachis to use. A banana rachis is circled in this photo The scientists first ground up some of the stalks, and then extracted cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs ...

In particular, the researchers wanted to determine if they could slow down melting and extend the shelf life of ice cream using a fibrous extract from banana fruit stems, or rachis. Working in ...

Researchers have found that adding the cellulose fibers extracted from banana plant stems, known as rachis, to ice cream could not only slow melting, but could increase shelf life and possibly ...

from ground-up banana rachis (the stalk), which they mixed into ice cream. After measuring the hardness of the ice cream, and how much force was needed to move a fluid, they analyzed what kind of ...

The researchers wanted to determine if they could slow down melting and extend the shelf life of ice cream using a fibrous extract from banana fruit stems, or rachis. Working in collaboration with ...

Most obviously, it can melt when exposed to heat. The researchers wanted to determine if they could slow down melting and extend the shelf life of ice cream using a fibrous extract from banana fruit ...
