Banana Weight Gain After Harvest Is a Myth
The Agricultural Research Center has confirmed that the claim of increased banana fruit weight after harvest is scientifically incorrect. The fruits do not gain any additional weight post-harvest, despite the natural ripening processes—such as the production of ethylene that converts starches into sugars to give the fruit its sweet taste—that occur during production. It clarified that the size of the fruits is determined by factors such as the variety, soil quality, and agricultural management conditions. While higher temperatures promote growth processes, they do not increase the weight of the fruits after harvesting. Additionally, it noted that ripening bananas using ethylene gas to improve their quality does not lead to weight gain; rather, it accelerates ripening and enhances their consumption quality.
