Grande Naine (G-9) bananas were stored at 13ºC with 95% relative humidity for optimal shelf life. The fruits were harvested at the green stage-1, treated with 1% Alum and 1% Benomyl for 10 minutes, then packed in crates and stored in the cool room at New Leaf Pvt. Ltd in Pune, Maharashtra. In these circumstances, the bananas maintained their freshness for 12 to 16 days, and they continued to be fresh for an extra 2 to 3 days after being taken out of storage. The shelf life was only 4 to 6 days when kept in normal room conditions. Throughout the experiment, no chilling injury, decay, crown rot, or stem rot were detected in the cold room. Overall, storing bananas in a chilly environment increased their marketable shelf life compared to room temperature.
