Optimization of plantain pseudostem drying (Musa paradisiaca) and its potential use as biodegradable plant material Environmental pollution is a global problem in all natural ecosystems. The search for alternatives that minimize the impact of waste generated by human activities is a constant need, which is why research is looking for materials with characteristics of malleability, stability and, above all, biodegradability. Our research seeks to optimize the drying process of the leaf sheaths of the banana pseudostem (Musa paradisiaca) for use as biodegradable plant material. We analyze the physical properties of the leaf sheaths according to: stem weight and biometry. Likewise, the response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to optimize the drying temperature (30 - 80 º C) and time (8 - 144 hours), with the answers being: % humidity, water absorption and apparent density, for the Obtaining dry banana pseudostem slices for future applications. Lengths of 70 cm were worked where the optimum drying ranges were: temperature (70 to 90 °C) and time (60 - 100 h). The best time and temperature conditions for drying the leaf sheaths of the banana pseudostem, allowing for easy handling and flexibility of the materials obtained from the processes, for later use in the manufacture of articles and other products with a biodegradable trend.
