| Summary: | Bananas are a type of climacteric fruit, so bananas will continue to
experience a spike in maturity even they have passed the harvesting process.
Transportation of yellow Ambon bananas (Musa acuminata) from producers to
consumers for three hours by motorbike is indicated to cause damage to Ambon
yellow bananas. As a climacteric fruit, bananas will experience a spike in
respiration rate in response to higher temperatures. Likewise with the increase in
the production of ethylene gas. In order to reduce the rate of ripening of bananas
during the transportation process, it is necessary to modify the packaging system of
bananas in courier bags during the transportation process. KMnO4 acts as an
ethylene scavenger which is applied to courier bags to prevent damage and maintain
the quality of bananas from damage to ethylene gas emissions during the
transportation process of product delivery to consumers. This research will focus
on the effect of ethylene gas on the damage of Ambon yellow bananas and the
prevention of damage to bananas due to ethylene gas during the transportation
process for shipping to consumers. The results showed that the addition of KMnO4
as an ethylene scavenger could maintain the quality and prevent damage to the
yellow Ambon bananas during the transportation process for shipping to
consumers. The treatment of 3 grams of KMnO4 without the addition of icepack as
a temperature stabilizer gave the best results in terms of weight loss, changes in
acidity (pH), and changes in total dissolved solids as well as from organoleptic
testing. From this research, it can be concluded that potassium permanganate can
be used as a material to maintain the quality of yellow Ambon bananas during
shipping. |
