A study was carried out to determine the effect of KMn04 act as ethylene absorber
and silica gel act as moisture absorber on the shelf life of banana (Musa paradisiaca)
at room temperature. Hand of banana were packaged in the plastic bag with the
combination of scrubbing formulation were specified as follow; TO: untreated banana,
Tl: hand of banana with moisture absorbent, T2: hand of banana with KMn04 and T3:
hand of banana with KMn04 and moisture absorbent. All the samples were kept at
room temperature. After 3 days, all the samples were taken out for determination of
colour peel, total soluble solid (Brix
value), firmness of the banana pulp and weight
loss. After 9 days, the result of this experiment have shown that the fruits which with
KMn04 without silica gel gave significant different compared with other treatment in
reducing the weight loss (significant different =o.ooo). Treatment with KMn04 (T2)
also gave significant different in maintaining the colour changes and sugar content of
banana. It was conclude that KMn04 without moisture absorbent (T2) delayed the
ripening of banana for at least 9 days. |
