In order to make a banana ripen and eventually rot faster, place it in an enclosed space such as a paper bag in warm space. If possible place it with other fruit that has already ripened. All of this will cause the enzymes that convert starches to sugars to work faster and cause the ripening to accelerate.

Will an outside banana rot faster than an inside banana?

Yes, an outside banana will likely rot faster than an inside banana due to exposure to factors such as air, temperature fluctuations, and possible physical damage. The inside banana is more protected from these external factors, leading to slower deterioration.


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. 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.
