How does ethylene affect the ripening of fruit?
The Ethelyn gas is produced by the fruits. If you keep your fruits in the refrigerator the Ethelyn gas will stay inside the fruit and will not be able to come out because it is hard for it yo expand so if you keep your fruits outside the refrigerator then your fruits will last longer.

Keep them seperate, and not touching, as if one has an insect or a disease, it may catch to the others otherwise. Ideally, go to your local grocers and ask for any spare apple display things, the ones with the dimples made to put apples in. Also, keep them cool, and in the dark.
How does a bannana rot?
When a banana decomposes it creates ethylene oxide, amylase, and protease gasses. If kept in a bag the gasses can not escape and will cause the fruit to age rapidly. If on the counter it will age more on the bottom first, where the gasses are more isolated. The best way to keep bananas from aging is to hang them over the counter on a fruit stand of some sort. NOTE: If you have unripe fruit, you can set it in a bowl with a bunch of bananas and it will ripen faster.
Why should the fruits be placed in a fridge?
Modern refrigerators have a drawer for fruit storage, but not all fruit needs to be refrigerated. Bananas and apples store just as well on the counter.
How does starch delays the ripening of banana?
Placing a banana in a refrigerator will stop the ripening process, and doing so will prevent the further ripening of the fruit, even after it has been removed from the refrigerator. Therefore, store the fruit in a refrigerator only after it has reached the desired stage of ripeness. 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. 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.
