Popis: Packaging plays an important role to maintain the shelf life of banana thereby providing nutritional and market value alongside to the farmer losses as well. The present review study is to determine how different banana cultivars’ shelf lives were affected by the materials used for packaging. The banana cultivars, referred to locally as Robusta var., would be packed using five different materials a perforated low density polyethylene bag, dried banana leaf, gunny bag, brown paper bag, cling wrap, and no packaging material. Three replications of a factorial combination were used in the Randomized Complete Block Design experiment. Every four days, a variety of physical characteristics were evaluated, such as weight loss, pulp hardness, pulp dry matter, pulp to peel ratio, peel colour, pulp thickness, decay, and loss % of marketability. The present review revel on different packaging materials to increase shelf-life banana, latest packaging technologies used in banana’s packaging and future research in banana packaging would revel.
