Do bananas ripen faster in a plastic bag or do they ripen faster when not in a plastic bag?

Bananas ripen quickly on their own as they're one of the few fruits that release ethene. Keeping them together in a plastic bag should make them ripen. Keep them away from other fruit that you don't want to go off, and if you want avocados to ripen put them in a brown paper bag with bananas in an airing cupboard.

∙ 10y agoRipening is due to ethylene gas and all fruits release it as they rot or ripe. If u keep them in plastic bag,gas will not escape n bananas will rot faster

Apples ripen faster in a bag compared to on a paper towel because the ethylene gas released by the apples is trapped in the enclosed environment of the bag, which accelerates the ripening process. Placing apples on a paper towel can help absorb excess moisture and prevent them from bruising, but it does not speed up the ripening process.

Do bananas really ripen faster left in a plastic bag?
As a banana ripens, it gives off ethylene gas. This gas is instrumental in the ripening process. In fact, it is this same gas that is used by banana importers to accelerate banana ripening once the bananas are ready to go to market. By placing bananas in a paper bag, you are concentrating the gas that is emitted from the fruit. As the concentration increases and the ripening process accelerates, more gas is emitted faster. Essentially, you have a chain reaction taking place -- more ripening means more gas, which means more ripening, and so forth.
