Abstract

Because of its nutritional value, banana fruit is very important for food security and the economy in many tropical and subtropical countries. However, banana is a climacteric fruit with a short shelf life, so an alternative method is needed to delay their ripening. This article aims to explain postharvest handling in accordance with the characteristics of Cavendish bananas. The ripening process of climacteric plants is accompanied by increased respiration and the production of ethylene, a hormone involved in fruit ripening. Currently, several technologies can extend the shelf life of Cavendish bananas, namely by vacuum packaging with a low storage temperature (9℃), the best active packaging to extend shelf life with active packaging made from activated charcoal as much as 10 g with LDPE packaging, and vacuum packaging. Using 1% alum treatment can last up to 2 weeks, showing low total dissolved solids, low total titrated acid, and high hardness.
