Effects of hot water treatments on postharvest quality and ethylene synthesis of bananas.

The effects of hot water dips (HWD) on the ripening, ethylene metabolism and commercial quality of Santa Catarina Prata (AAB) and Dwarf Cavendish (AAA) bananas were studied. Temperatures below 50 deg C caused a delay in peel colour development, but did not affect soluble solids accumulation. Temperatures in the range 50-55 deg C caused, to various extents, peel darkening, incomplete soluble solids accumulation and increased chilling sensitivity of the fruits. Disruption of the normal ACC oxidase activity of peel and pulp appeared to be involved in these responses.
