Ideas for extending the shelf life of bananas
We are daily receive 10 cartoons of fresh Banana serving with special orders , but a ctually and according to the Banana prticuliarity the natural colour (yellow) changes to black in short time and this is will reduce the shelf life , so I am asking in how we can extend the shelf life for banana in way to prevent the changing of colour , I mean is there a technical method being exist can inhibit the fast ripping?

Take the bananas out of their cartons and hang them in an area away from other fruit, possibly in an area with decent ventilation at around 50F. The problem now becomes the fruit flies you're sure to have hatch AND the cross-contamination. You can freeze bananas easily, if you're not using them RTE.

Dear Chief Inspector/GMO:
Thanks , but we are serving Banana as a whole peice without removing the out layer (skin), so once take it out from freezer the water will condese on the skine then colour will come black direct before offer it to the consumer , that is why I am looking for alternative methods .
I think GMO has very good idea if we use it as one of ingredients but unfortunatly we serve it as whole piece .

Have you ever considered using MAP, MAS or CAS?
Using modified or controlled atmosphere for packaging or storage can reduced ripening time.
Ripening happened because there is ethylene (ripnening agent) which produced by the fruit
To prevent ethylene producing, we can using ethylene absorbent, i.e. KMnO4

What you need to do is to get the following bag and information from Stepac:

Dear Ajay:CAS (Controlled Atmosphere Storage) and MAP (Modified Atmoshphere Storage) are expensive propositions. What you need to do is to get the following bag and information from Stepac: http://www.stepac.co...g.asp?prod=167 Good Luck Ajay
Very nice link from a good person such as you , many thanks for your effort .
