  Abstract: Normal 0 false false false IN X-NONE X-NONE Level of O2 and CO2 plays an important role on ethylene biosynthesis during ripening of the climacteric fruit. Low level of O2 and high level of CO2 will affect ACS and ACO enzyme activities and will impede ethylene production. Thus, reduce ethylene level will eventually delay fruit ripening process. Pre-climacteric banana fruits (Musa sp.) were chosen based on ripening level, size, shape, …
