How do bananas broken from their bunch ripen slower than bananas that are still in a bunch?

As fruit ripens it gives off a chemical called ethylene, which in turn accelerates ripening. If a banana is separated from the bunch, it doesn't have access to as much of this gas because it is alone, however bananas in a bunch share the ethylene produced by the others in the bunch, thus speeding up the ripening process.

Do bananas ripen faster intact in a bunch or separated?
They emit ethylene gas which signals the other bananas to ripen. When they're separated they get less exposure. If instead you want to make them ripen more quickly, put them in a plastic bag together, or with a banana that's already ripe.
A newly harvested bunch of bananas is often placed inside a sack and kept in a storeroomwhy is this done?
bananas ripen faster in a cool dark place
How does a banana ripener ripen bananas?
The warmer it is , the faster they ripen
Do non ripen bananas ripen quicker next to rip bananas?
Yes. Many ripening fruit produce the hydrocarbon gas ethylene as they ripen, which itself triggers more ripening. Bananas are especially productive sources of the gas, and putting one that's in the process of going brown next to apples, pears or hard avocados will greatly speed up their ripening.
Do ripened bananas influence unripened bananas to start the ripening process?
In a sense, they do. As bananas ripen, they give off heat and ethylene gas, which stimulates other bananas (and other fruit) to ripen.
When do you take the bag off bananas?
I don't put my bananas in bags. Bananas will ripen with out a bag.
Can you make bananas ripen more slowly?
NO you cant they can ripen better if you leave them in the shade
How do you ripen the bananas by using ethephon?
bananas ripen when they are exposed to ethylene gas,which is produced in the bunch tissues naturally in very small quantity.this results in very slow and gradual ripening.when we want quick and uniform ripening,ethephon spray 0.33% is used.this chemical releases ethylene when it breaks up.it is safe and approved by experts
How do you ripen bananas on tree?
Just let them grow. :)
How does a banana ripen on a counter?

How many bunches of bananas to a tree?
Bananas don't come in bunches. They come in hands. Each individual banana is called a finger. I've seen hands with 9 fingers and I've seen them with less. I think the average is about 5, which would make sense considering they are called hands. But there is no exact answer to your question.
What is the chemical used to ripen bananas?
Ethylene gas is used to accelerate the ripening process of bananas.
