Résumé

Mature Kolikuttu bananas were packed under modified atmosphere conditions using low density polyethylene bags and stored at 14 °C and 94% RH. The effect of ethylene scavengers on storage life of banana was examined. The in-package concentrations of oxygen, carbon dioxide and ethylene were measured during storage. Percentage weight loss, changes in firmness, total soluble solids, pH and sugar:acid ratio during storage were also determined. Based on the in-package gaseous composition, the optimum storage period was defined. After termination of storage, bananas were allowed to ripen naturally, and the physicochemical properties of ripened banana were analysed. According to the results, some recommendations are proposed.
