By: Molly Warshaw. Abstract. This study was done to observe how a banana’s environment effects it’s ripening process. The researcher took four bunches of Dole bananas and placed each of them in four different environments. The four different environments in which the bananas were placed are in a refrigerator, on a counter top, in a brown paper bag, and hung on a banana hanger. The bananas were left in their environment for ten days and their weights were recorded every day. After the ten days the bananas had lost weight. The bananas in the brown paper bag lost the most percentage of their original weight and the bananas in the refrigerator lost the least amount. The bananas on the counter and on the banana hanger lost 2.7 and 2.9oz, whereas the bananas in the paper bag lost 2.5oz and the bananas in the refrigerator lost 1.4oz. All bananas showed signs of decay, but only the ones in the refrigerator never turned yellow. They went from being green to being green and brown and then to just being brown. Whereas the rest of the bananas went from being green to being yellow and then they turned brown. This research shows that the best way to keep a banana fresh longer is to store them in a refrigerator.. Bananas in My Tummy. Min . is a monkey. He was hiding in a banana tree.
