EFFECTS OF WATER LOSS ON RESPIRATION, ETHYLENE PRODUCTION AND RIPENING OF BANANA FRUIT

This study reports the effects of water loss on postharvest life of banana (Musa acuminata Colla) fruits. Fresh mass losses of 5% and higher promoted a shortening in preclimacteric life of fruits and induced a decrease of maximal rates of respiration and ethylene production during climacteric ripening. Preclimacteric ethylene production was stimulated by water stress; however, it did not induce chlorophyll degradation. Fruit exhibiting fresh mass loss of 20% showed an abnormal ripening with a decreased pulp softening and excessive brown color of skin.
