A banana will ripen slower in a refrigerator than if left in a space that is warmer. The skin 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.
What else can I help you with?
Why does a banana ripen faster in cold temperature?
THE BANANA RIPENS FASTER IN COLD WATHER BECAUSE IT'S TEMPETURE IS MAKING IT NOT MOULDY. AND IF IT'S IN THE SUN IT'S GONNA GET DRIED UP AND ITS NOT GOING 2 RIPEN....THE BANANA RIPENS FASTER IN COLD WATHER BECAUSE IT'S TEMPETURE IS MAKING IT NOT MOULDY.

AND IF IT'S IN THE SUN IT'S GONNA GET DRIED UP AND ITS NOT GOING 2 RIPEN....First of all, all of you people who believe a person too lazy to type (no offense FYI im just a kid) It is wrong so SCRATCH THAT ANSWER. Bananas ripen faster in a warmer temperature. I have just completed a science fair project in bananas. A banana emits a gas called ethylene and if you have not realized it when a banana is in the sun it ripens faster causing the decomposition stage to move quicker. The correct question to this answer is "Will a banana last longer in warmer temperatures or in cooler temperatures"? The answer to that question is above,But if you would like to ripen your bananas quickly simply leave them in a warm temperatured place or a place giving direct sunlight.From yours truly,( a 6th grader)
Would bananas ripen faster in a freezer or a refrigerator?
Neither, put them in a plastic or paper bag Freezing a banana will all but stop the ripening process. Keeping a banana in the refrigerator section will retard but not stop the ripening process. The skin turns brown or black in the refrigerator and the freezer, 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.

If you buy pears at the store that are not completely ripen what could you do to help them ripen more rapidly?
Pears ripen pretty quickly, but if you put in a bag with a banana or an apple the gases from these fruits will make the pear ripen quicker.
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.

How do you ripen custard apples?
Put the custard apples in a brown paper cover/bag and put one banana in it. The banana will fasten the ripening process. Leave it overnight.
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. 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.

Why should you not store a banana in the refrigerator?
as simple it is not a melone to be put in fridge
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.
True or false-if you want a avocado to ripen quickly you should put it in a brown paper bag with a banana?
True.
Do bananas ripen faster in light or darkness?
No
Why does a banana rot faster on the counter than in the refrigator?
All plants release ethylene, which is a gas that affects a plant's ripening. The growth, development, and aging of all plants (Catalytic Generators, 1976). It can change the texture, color, softening, aroma and flavor in a plant as well. Bananas release more ethylene than other fruits, so they ripen faster.
