00:00Let's go back to DOST with Sir Danilo Barcelon Jr.

00:05about what they will do with the banana peel, how can we make use of it.

00:11Sir Danilo, please repeat what you were saying earlier.

00:18First of all, the Department of Science and Technology,

00:21a facility, the Modular Multi-Industry Innovation Center,

00:26focuses on the use of various agro-industrial wastes and by-products

00:31such as peels, pulp, and seeds of various fruits, vegetables, and crops.

00:38One of these is the banana peel, which is a huge waste that we just throw away.

00:44This is where the concept of having money in the trash comes in,

00:47or in English, waste to help.

00:49This is a big challenge for our MSMEs, especially those in the food industry,

00:53who use bananas for their products.

00:58What other benefits can we get from this processing method?

01:05Our project aims to reduce the large volume of waste that is thrown away after processing,

01:12save on the cost of throwing away the waste, and increase the income of our industry partners.

01:19Through this, we develop alternatives to food,

01:24or food ingredients such as flour and dietary fiber,

01:29that can help our gut digestion.

01:32These are our main goals.

01:36Okay.

01:38What kinds of products can be used or made using banana peels?

01:45According to studies, 40% of banana peels are just thrown away.

01:52This is a big problem for our food industry, if this increases the volume of production.

02:00Through this S&T initiative, the project aims to use banana peels for various food applications,

02:09such as flour or flour, and dietary fiber for gut digestion,

02:16or for faster digestion of food in our stomach.

02:21This can be added to the income of our industry partners.

02:26Another benefit of our project is from the food industry sector,

02:30which spends more than P500,000 per year just to throw this away.

02:38So this is a big opportunity for us to develop new products.

02:44So we can have banana flour, right?

02:50Aside from banana peels, is there a plan to expand this project,

02:55such as valorization of other wastes, fruits, and vegetables?

03:01That's right.

03:02Valorization or value addition to agro-industrial wastes and by-products,

03:09which we thought were thrown away, is one of the goals of our center or MMIC.

03:15Some of the products included in our roadmap are banana peels, seeds, pulp,

03:22fruits, vegetables, and other vegetables such as mango, tomato, pineapple, garlic, onion,

03:29cassava, coconut, and various parts of fish and chicken that we just throw away.

03:34Our goal is to be able to develop various applications,

03:38especially for food applications for human consumption.

03:42Okay.

03:43As an S&T fellow in the DOS team,

03:46can you share with us the call for applications in your department?

03:51What are the details of this?

03:53Yes.

03:54DOST has a lot of programs to help partners in the industry

04:00as well as young professionals who want to join DOST in research and development.

04:06I will not be able to do this project with the help of the S&T Fellows Program of DOST.

04:15The number of young professionals in the S&T Fellows Program is increasing

04:20and there are currently 55 S&T fellows.

04:23We are currently looking for 31 S&T fellows assigned to various agencies of DOST,

04:31especially in the regions.

04:34The position is open for various fields of expertise.

04:39For additional information about these positions and other requirements,

04:44please visit the DOST Philippines website and the Facebook page of DOST S&T Fellows.

04:50The deadline for the call for applications is October 14, 2024.

04:55Okay.

04:56Thank you very much for your time, Sir Danilo Barcelon Jr.,

04:59Science and Technology Fellow of DOST Industrial Technology Development Institute.

05:06Thank you very much.
