Technoblock equipment for banana gasification chambers

Abstract

Since the early 1990s, bananas have become an integral part of the range of fruit and vegetable products sold in Russia. It is one of the cheapest and most affordable imported fruits for the population. However, it is necessary to ensure a number of conditions for bananas to reach the consumer of appropriate quality.
From the field bananas are transported to Europe unripe when they are still green and the fruit contains high amounts of starch. In this condition, bananas can be stored for quite a long time at certain temperatures and humidity. Before marketing they should be brought to consumer ripeness, when the fruit acquires the necessary taste, color, consistency, and aroma.
The process of artificial ripening requires a very precise temperature and humidity conditions, a specific, time-varying composition of the gas environment. It is carried out in banana ripening chambers, where the biochemical processes necessary to obtain a quality product take place.
