INTRODUCTION Worldwide postharvest fruit and vegetables losses are as high as 30 to 40% and even much higher in some developing countries. Reducing postharvest losses is very important; ensuring that sufficient food‚ both in quantity and in quality is available to every inhabitant in our planet. Proper postharvest processing and handling is an important part of modern agricultural production. Postharvest processes include the integrated functions of harvesting‚ cleaning‚ grading‚ cooling‚ storing

Bananas are said to be currently the world’s third most popular fruit and evidence shows could be the oldest cultivated crop (Langdon 18). The tropical fruit is believed to have originated and first domesticated in Southeast Asia estimated around 5000 BC (Langdon 18). Due to how difficult reproducing the seedless banana plant is‚ the distribution did not stray far from Southeast Asia for thousands of years in its existence. Apparently the first Europeans to learn about it were the Greeks under
