Unfortunately, the poor handling during postharvest storage often leads to sharp decrease in the qualities and quantities of banana fruits that are not acceptable to the market standards. Hence, this research aimed to investigate an alternative method for postharvest handling of banana, which is practical at low-cost. In this research, we tested the effects of chitosan coating and application of bamboo Fruit Storage Chamber (FSC) to delay ripening. Two kilograms of banana were placed in two tier FSCto determine its effect on fruit ripening process. Physical, physiological, sensory quality and ripening related (MaACO and MaACS1) genes expression levels were studied during nine days of the ripening process. The results showed that the total soluble solids (TSS), weight loss, and pulp to peel ratio of the control were higher than the FSC treated bananas. In addition, the level of MaACO and MaACS1 genes expression in FSC treated bananas is also lower than in control. These results indicated that FSC treatment was able to delay the ripening of bananas by two dayslaterthan control.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Author keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Chitosan coatings,Fruit storage,Genes expression,MaACO,MaACS1,Post-harvest storage,Sensory qualities,Total soluble solids[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Indexed keywords” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]Chitosan,Fruit Storage Chamber,Gene expression,MaACO,MaACS1[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_separator css=”.vc_custom_1624528584150{padding-top: 25px !important;padding-bottom: 25px !important;}”][vc_empty_space][megatron_heading title=”Funding details” size=”size-sm” text_align=”text-left”][vc_column_text]This study was a Banana Group (Institut Teknologi Bandung, Indonesia) Research Project and conducted with the financial support of MP3EI-Ristek DIKTI for Fenny M.
