These results demonstrated that 20% CO2 did not inhibit
the fruit softening and starch degradation for both cultivars.
Bananas appeared to undergo similar green-ripening in 20%
CO2 as they did at high temperature (24–35°C). Namely the
pulp of 20% CO2 treated bananas ripened as the control,
but the degreening of the fruit peel was inhibited. While no
deficiency in both pulp ripening and peel degreening was
observed for plantains.
