Abstract

Banana (Musa spp.) is a main economic crop. Several pre and postharvest factors are controlling fruit quality. Oweing to its climacteric nature numerous biological and metabolic changes occur rapidly within fruits and accelerate their ripening and senescence. These changes cause considerable postharvest losses that reduce supply chain efficiency. There is always a pressing and persistent necessity to minimize these losses and develop the current postharvest technologies. Nanoparticle technology has shown promising potential in fruit postharvest including banana. Further research is needed to provide more comprehensive knowledge of these promising materials.
