2.5. Fruit quality
Peel color, flavor, texture and overall acceptability of banana fruits treated with plant extracts were assessed by a panel of ten people. Five hands of banana were allocated for measurement of fruit quality. The treated fruits were transferred from one month of storage at 14 C to room temperature for one week, for quality assessment. Each quality parameter mentioned above was scored (Excellent = 9–10; Good = 6–8; Fair = 4–5; Poor = 1–3) as mentioned by Hewage (1996)
