If you put a banana in the refrigerator will it ripen faster?
A banana will ripen slower in a refrigerator than if left in a space that is warmer. The skin turns brown or black faster in the refrigerator, but the banana meat itself does not ripen that much more. In fact, it is recommended that ripened bananas be frozen to preserve them even longer. The cold temperature of a refrigerator encourages an enzyme (polyphenyl oxidase), which is naturally found in the banana, to polymerise phenols in the banana skin into polyphenols. Polyphenols are similar to melanin, the pigment responsible for the color in our skin. This is what blackens the skin of the bananas. Despite the color, the cold temperature will keep bananas firmer than a banana that has been left at room temperature for the same amount of time. The enzymes that break the starch into sugar, which makes the banana soft and ripe, work better at room temperature.
Do banana's ripen in the refrigerator?
Bananas ripen in a refrigerator, but they do so much slower than it left at room temperature. The skin of a banana turns brown or black faster in the refrigerator, but the banana meat itself does not ripen that much more. In fact, it is recommended that ripened bananas be frozen to preserve them even longer. The cold temperature of a refrigerator encourages an enzyme (polyphenyl oxidase), which is naturally found in the banana, to polymerise phenols in the banana skin into polyphenols.

True or false cellular phones produce radiation?
True - they work by using microwave radiation.
How can you make a banana rot faster?
In order to make a banana ripen and eventually rot faster, place it in an enclosed space such as a paper bag in warm space. If possible place it with other fruit that has already ripened. All of this will cause the enzymes that convert starches to sugars to work faster and cause the ripening to accelerate.

Why does a banana ripen faster in cold temperature?
THE BANANA RIPENS FASTER IN COLD WATHER BECAUSE IT'S TEMPETURE IS MAKING IT NOT MOULDY. AND IF IT'S IN THE SUN IT'S GONNA GET DRIED UP AND ITS NOT GOING 2 RIPEN....THE BANANA RIPENS FASTER IN COLD WATHER BECAUSE IT'S TEMPETURE IS MAKING IT NOT MOULDY. AND IF IT'S IN THE SUN IT'S GONNA GET DRIED UP AND ITS NOT GOING 2 RIPEN....THE BANANA RIPENS FASTER IN COLD WATHER BECAUSE IT'S TEMPETURE IS MAKING IT NOT MOULDY.

AND IF IT'S IN THE SUN IT'S GONNA GET DRIED UP AND ITS NOT GOING 2 RIPEN....First of all, all of you people who believe a person too lazy to type (no offense FYI im just a kid) It is wrong so SCRATCH THAT ANSWER. Bananas ripen faster in a warmer temperature. I have just completed a science fair project in bananas. A banana emits a gas called ethylene and if you have not realized it when a banana is in the sun it ripens faster causing the decomposition stage to move quicker. The correct question to this answer is "Will a banana last longer in warmer temperatures or in cooler temperatures"? The answer to that question is above,But if you would like to ripen your bananas quickly simply leave them in a warm temperatured place or a place giving direct sunlight.From yours truly,( a 6th grader)
Would bananas ripen faster in a freezer or in a refrigerator...?
Neither, put them in a plastic or paper bag Freezing a banana will all but stop the ripening process. Keeping a banana in the refrigerator section will retard but not stop the ripening process. The skin turns brown or black in the refrigerator and the freezer, but the banana meat itself does not ripen that much more. In fact, it is recommended that ripened bananas be frozen to preserve them even longer. The cold temperature of a refrigerator encourages an enzyme (polyphenyl oxidase), which is naturally found in the banana, to polymerise phenols in the banana skin into polyphenols. Polyphenols are similar to melanin, the pigment responsible for the color in our skin. This is what blackens the skin of the bananas.
