how do u test for the effect of temperature on bananas,which is the most suitable temperature or method?

Question

i am eager to know as it is part of my research to do and present in a classroom,

Answer 1

i keep mine on a banana stand (special implement for hanging the bananas on) in my kitchen so at room temperature or i do put them in the fridge but never put them with other fruit like apples because it makes them ripen quickly, if you have green bananas then put them with other fruit to ripen them! try this method out and record your findings

Answer 2

With so many people asking for science project suggestions, this would be an excellent one.

Create a set of environments that you can keep stable within a specific temperature range. Ideally, you would want an environment that would store bananas at, say 40 degrees F, 60 degrees, 80 degrees and 100 degrees.

Get a bunch of bananas. For the four environments above, you would want banana bunches that had either 4 or 8 bananas each. That way you know that the growing conditions will be identical for each banana in each environment. Label all of those bananas the same way, like "Group A".

Get additional bunches of bananas as desired. Again, you want to be able to have enough bananas in each bunch that you can use at least one banana for each environment. Label each bunch with a unique label.

Once you have all of your groups labeled, each individual banana should get a unique identifier; a simple number would do.

Photograph the bananas with the labels showing. It may be helpful to note any particular spots, bruises, nicks, or damage to the bananas.

Place the bananas in the temperature controlled environments. Check on them daily and photograph them at regular intervals. Handle them carefully so that your handling does not cause bruising.

Once you have kept the bananas long enough to show the external effects (brown spotting and blackening), you might want to peel some and test their fitness for consumption. It might turn out that a blackened banana at 40 degree storage temperature is more edible than a similarly blackened banana stored at 100 degrees.

If you have a sufficient number of bananas in your study, you could test fitness for consumption at a couple of different points throughout the study.

Good luck!

sometimes we keep them over the fridge and it usually gets hot due to the heat that comes from behind.
So keep it on top (outside) if uwant higher temp; keep it inside, if u want lower :)

(unless u wanted to study the whole tree, in which case u can produce a green house effect for hot; and breezy fan for cold.)
