Instant plantain flours were prepared from ripe and unripe plantain fingers, by cooking and subsequent oven-dehydration at 76°C and at between 88 and 92°C, respectively.

The products were stored at 5 ± 1°C and at 22 ± 4°C. Sensory evaluation and some physico-chemical parameters indicated a high degree of product acceptability and stability during storage. Flours prepared from ripe plantain were more acceptable, had higher moisture contents, lower pH, higher total sugar contents, lower ascorbic acid contents and lower levels of sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium and iron, than flours prepared from unripe plantains. The products appear to have some commercial potential on their own or as bases for other foods such as baby weaning foods, puddings, soups and gravies
