What is the chemical used to ripen bananas?
Ethylene gas is used to accelerate the ripening process of bananas.
What are bananas sprayed with to accelerate ripening?
Bananas are not sprayed with anything, at least not anything in a liquid form. In order to accelerate the ripening process, banana are placed in a room and subjected to ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is naturally released by bananas and other fruit, which causes the ripening process. Placing green bananas in commercial ethylene gas does faster what nature would do if the fruit were left on the tree. This allows for the shipment of green bananas over long distances without concern for early ripening before reaching market.
Are rotten bananas a physical or chemical change?
yes because it gets rotten so is a chemical change
What is a banana ripening chamber?
It is a chamber or room in which green bananas are exposed to ethylene gas in order to accelerate the ripening process of the fruit.
Is bananas turning black a chemical or physical reaction?
The answer is actually microorganisms.In school we did a topic about it so it will be chemicals. Aleema hope it helpedxx

Does the distance an orange is from a banana affect its ripening rate?
bananas ripening is their form of blushing. oranges turn bananas on, causing them to blush, or as humans see it, ripening
Why do bananas ripen even though they are not connected to the banana plant?
Bananas do not naturally ripen once plucked from the tree. Rather, commercially sold bananas are gassed with a special chemical that encourages ripening after they have already been harvested.

Purely physical.
How do bananas breathe?
Bananas do not breathe, nor live at all. But they produce carbon dioxide and ethylene gas when they are ripening.

Stop bananas from ripening?
They are not sprayed with anything. They are stored in a cool environment and with limited oxygen to prevent ripening. See Related Links.
Are green bananas a different variety from yellow bananas?
Yellow bananas are also green before ripening. There are quiter a few varieties of bananas however and some of them are green.
What effect does a paper bag have on a banana?
Placing bananas in a paper bag or any other enclosed environment will hasten the ripening process. This is due to the fact that, as a banana ripens, it emits ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is essential in the ripening process. If you place bananas in a bag, the gas concentrates and the ripening process accelerates. Ethylene gas is what banana importers use to accelerate the ripening of bananas prior to sending them to market.
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.
