Author(s) : MORRELLI K. L., HESS-PIERCE B. M., KADER A. A.
Type of article: Article
Summary
The variation in chilling sensitivity of mature-green speciality bananas (Musa paradisiaca var. sapientum) and plantains (Musa paradisiaca var. paradisiaca) was examined using four cultivars of bananas and one plantain cultivar stored under various time and temperature combinations. The results of the tests performed are detailed. The storage of speciality bananas and plantains at or above their minimum safe temperatures resulted in improved uniformity of ripening and overall quality of the fruit due to a decrease in chilling injury symptoms.
