Summary

Compared to the samples packed without ethylene absorbers (EA), those packed with EA had significantly lower in-package ethylene and carbon dioxide contents, higher oxygen contents and minimum changes in firmness and total soluble solids content; their weight loss, titratable acidity and pH little varied during modified atmosphere (MA) storage. The MA created inside the low density polyethylene packages with EA was effective in extending the green life of "Kolikuttu" banana up to 20 days. The fruits ripened naturally within 4 days after the end of storage.
