Ding Phebe, . and Siti Hajar Ahmad, . (2000) Effects of temperature and ethephon treatment methods on colour and selected quality characteristics of ;Novaria; banana. [Proceedings Paper]
Abstract
Colour and selected quality characteristics of ;Novaria; banana were determined after being ripened with calcium carbide and ethephon for 24 hrs at 182C and 272C. Two methods of ethephon treatment were used. Banana fingers were either dipped in ethephon or placed near ethephon-saturated sponges. Control fruit were ripened with calcium carbide at 182C. The fruit were analysed seven days after treatment. The peel colour of fruit at 182C was bright yellow while at 272C was light green with black spots. The black spot was more severe in the fruit dipped with ethephon. There were differences in firmness among treatment. The SSC of fruit ripened using ethephon saturated-sponges was higher than fruit dipped in ethephon and this consequently affected the pH and titratable acidity of fruit. ;Novaria; banana could be ripened satisfactorily at 182C when exposed to acetylene or ethylene.
