| Summary: | In addition to its delicious taste, high nutrition and relatively cheap price, bananasarealso one of the plants withbright prospects sincealmost everyone in the world likes to eat them(Komaryati dan Adi, 2012). However, bananas are perishable and havea limited shelf life. Fruit retail is one of the suppliers of the demand for fruit in the community. It is rarely forfruit soldby fruit retailers to be damaged due to the form of stress experienced, moreover bananas have short shelflife which make it spoil quickly. Therefore, besides being able to cause losses in retail, the quality and nutrition of the fruit does not arrive maximally to consumers. Therefore, the need for display and storage in banana sales activities needs to be considered in order to improve sales quality and keep bananas fresh until it consumed by consumers.Therefore, this study aims to design an effective and efficient display and storage facility and increase bananas shelf life.Techniques that can be used to delay the decline in quality of bananas were controlled ripening technology utilizing the photocatalytic properties of TiO2. The technology uses a TiO2 composite which is reacted underUV light thusit activates its photocatalytic properties that allow it to decomposeorganic compounds including ethylene in the fruit storage. |
