The effects of 2 levels of mechanical abrasion (1 and 4 cm2 per fruit) at 3 relative humidity levels (50, 75 and 100% RH) on the physiology, green life and commercial quality of banana (cv. Dwarf Cavendish) fruits were studied. Both levels of mechanical damage significantly affected the physiological development of the fruits (respiration and ethylene production) and had a negative effect on final quality. Air humidity appeared to be negatively correlated with the severity of the symptoms.
