why yes, yes there is. The gas substance from the banana is ethylene, but the sugar content fructose helps. That why a banana tastes like it does.
That chemical is ethylene gas.
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.
Ethylene gas, a natural by-product of bananas and other fruits, is what accelerates the ripening process of fruit. The riper a fruit is the more gas is emitted. Once green bananas arrive at their destination, they are placed in rooms and exposed to commercial ethylene for this purpose. A method to accelerate the ripening of other fruits, such as tomatoes, is to place them in a container with a fully ripened banana. The ethylene gas that the banana gives off will help ripen the tomato.
The skin of a banana is called the peel.
Ethylene gas is a plant hormone that triggers fruit ripening in many plants. The plants start producing ethylene themselves to synchronize ripening of all the fruit on the tree at the same time. Humans use ethylene gas to allow them to pick unripe fruit (which will survive better in transportation over long distances than ripe fruit could) and trigger ripening at the destination shortly before selling the fruit to the public.
No. The outer skin of a banana is a banana peel and you peel it off.
There will be a hole in the Banana peel...
Below are several tutorials on how to peel a banana .
Fruit suit is a hinky pink for the peel of a banana.
banna is to skin as orange is to peel
Banana Peel
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.
