Ripening
Banana / Mangos are one of the few fruits that ripen best off the plant. If left on the plant, the fruit splits open and the pulp has a "cottony" texture and flavour. Even in tropical growing areas, bananas for domestic consumption are cut green and stored in moist shady places to ripen slowly. As bananas ripen, the starch in the fruit turns to sugar. Therefore, the riper the banana the sweeter it will taste. The commercial practice is to ripen bananas artificially by using ethylene gas. A substance produced by the fruits accelerates the normal process of fruit maturation.

Temperature monitoring during ripening is critical. Normally temperatures between 14.5 ^oC and 16.5 ^oC will be adequate. If ripening temperatures are too high (normally above 18 ^oC) the fruit can become over-ripe too fast, soften but remain green and or split through the skin. Relative Air Humidity during ripening is also critical and levels lower than 85% RH can produce ripe fruit with too much scarring and symptoms of dehydration, as well as fruit with a grayish tan.

Baflo

Ripening system with immission of ethylene mixture. The apparatus can be used to increase ethylene for fruit/vegetables ripening (banana, pears, mango, tomatoes, etc.) Or fruit degreening (banana). This new board including PLC system allowing the automatic immission of ethylene mixture (nitrogen at 95%) inside the room. The immission of ethylene, in combination with warm temperature, promote the metabolism of the fruits increasing their respiration. The ethylene mixture flow is regulated by the programmed system connected to the ethylene/nitrogen cylinder.
