Default Re: Banana Fruit Question

We did write down and keep track of most of the parameters...but humidity was one we forgot about.

Interestingly, we are puzzling over why the Ziploc banana didn't really taste any different than the control banana...and may have tasted worse.

Our local expert on bananas (my wife and James' mom!), Jan, put a whole bunch of bananas into a ziploc together and vacuum-packed them.

Overnight, the bag inflated with a noxious gas (obviously the Ethylene) and the bananas that we tasted from that bag did not taste good. It's like the Ethylene is seeping back into the bananas.

Looks good; tastes bad!

We are going to research removing the Ethylene gas from the banana's environment....to be continued!

Gene and James
