| Abstract | The effect of ethylene absorber paper from banana sheath containing various concentrations of activated carbon for prolonging storage life of 'Hom Thong' banana was studied. Banana sheath, an agricultural waste, contains abundant cellulose, which could be used to produce ethylene absorber paper. The raw banana sheath was digested with 5 % sodium hydroxide solution and cleaned with tap water prior drying. The activated carbon powders at concentrations of 0, 10, 20 and 30 % by dry banana fiber weight were added. After forming the paper, it was tested for tear strength value, water vapor transmission rate and ethylene absorber efficiency properties. The results from this study presented that banana sheath paper containing with 30% of activated carbon could be the most absorber paper to prolong 'Hom Thong' banana storage at temperature of 25 ?C and 70?5 % RH for 12 days, with retained ethylene concentration of 0.05 ppm. From the data it was found that the physical characteristics, chemical and physiological changes of 'Hom Thong' banana after the storage has shown the best quality. |
