I understand where the basis of this question would come from because of the whole putting them in a paper bag thing to help ripen them faster. Well, the lack of light I think has little to do with it. Plants release gaseous ethylene which speeds up ripening of fruits. Amazingly enough the banana also releases ethylene and if the rate in which that gas disperses away from the banana is reduced -- thus increasing the concentration of ethylene the banana is being exposed to -- the faster the banana will ripen. So, put a banana in a paper bag, you slow down the rate of ethylene dispersal and speed up how fast it ripens.

I could be wrong about the lack of a role light has to do with it. I'm basing that on the lack of any photosynthic tissues in fruits. If ethylene production was tied to photosynthesis, I would guess otherwise, but I can't see how it could be. -julie

Dark because of the H2o cells decompose in dark not light.

Why does a green banana and an apple ripens faster?

All fruit produce ethylene gas in order to ripen, so by keeping your apples and bananas together in the open you are speeding up the ripening process. Bananas ripen faster than apples, which is why they spoil first.


Can bananas make other fruit ripen faster?

They can if -the bananas are already ripe, andthe bananas are placed in the immediate vicinity to the other fruit (such as in a fruit bowl)This is because bananas give off ethylene gas which makes fruit ripen faster.Some companies that artificially grow fruit use ethylene gas to ripen their fruit faster (although this gas is concentrated, not from growing bananas with other fruit)


Do bananas ripen faster in a plastic bag or do they ripen faster when not in a plastic bag?

Bananas ripen quickly on their own as they're one of the few fruits that release ethene. Keeping them together in a plastic bag should make them ripen. Keep them away from other fruit that you don't want to go off, and if you want avocados to ripen put them in a brown paper bag with bananas in an airing cupboard.


Why does an over-ripen banana in your fruit basket cause the other fruits to begin to spoil?

As bananas ripen they give off a gas that causes other fruit near them to ripen faster and then spoil.

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.
