The effects of different levels of sodium sulfite, L-ascorbic acid and citric acid dissolved in sucrose syrups of different concentrations on the development of browning in banana were evaluated after 4, 8 and 12 days of storage. Vacuum impregnation with sucrose syrup containing 300 ppm sodium bisulfite, 1% L-ascorbic acid, 1% citric acid and 30% sucrose minimized the net colour change in the fruit during 8 days of storage, even when sensory acceptance of the product lasted for only 4 days.
