Fruits of banana cultivars Dwarf Cavendish, Grand Nain and Williams were kept at ambient temperature (20 deg C) in a ripening chamber for up to 35 days. Measurements were made on peel colour, pulp firmness and development of anthracnosis [pathogen unspecified]. Williams and Grand Nain fruits had a longer shelf-life in terms of peel colour and flesh firmness than Dwarf Cavendish fruits. Anthracnosis was also slow to develop in these 2 cultivars.
