Why do you not put bananas in the refrigerator?
Actually, you can put bananas in a refrigerator to help keep them from over-ripening. Some say refrigerating a banana changes its taste, but it is better than having it over-ripen or even rotting. 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.
How is a rotten banana a chemical change?
All fruits, bananas included, give off CO2 which helps in the decomposing factor. Since your refrigerator is closed and only has so much space the CO2 builds up and causes them to rot.. Bananas do not "rot" faster in a refrigerator. In fact, they will last longer there. The skin turns brown or black faster in a refrigerator, but the banana meat itself does not ripen that much more.

Are browned bananas better than ripe bananas?
Yes. They are a lot better, trust me. When you let the bananas get almost fully browned, it almost doubles the nutrition value in bananas. Ripe bananas, even though they look better than browned bananas, are so unhealthy for you. The amount of sugar that is in a ripe banana is 2 grams, and the amount of sugar that is in a browned banana is less than 1 gram. So, in conclusion, browned bananas are a whole lot better for you than ripe bananas are.
Why do you get a headache from bananas that are over ripe but not from bananas that have just ripened to a yellow color without lots of spots?
I have the same problem with bananas...I figured out that the skin on the banana is thinner when ripe so the banana absorbes the liquid in the skin...the skin of a banana can have pesticides on it so you may be allergic to the pesticides and not the actual banana. Just a theory.
