Abstract: The experiments have studied physiological and bilchemical change on banana packed in LDPE bags with differentthickness and stored at room temperature about 20℃.The thicknesses of LDPE bags respectively were 0.022mm、0.028mm、0.037mm and 0.061mm.Through analysis on weight loss、peel color、firmness、revert sugar、starch and ethyleneproduction,it proved that by comparing the four types of bags,the one with 0.061mm thickness could better usefully postponethe storage life of banana.

Key words: banana, LDPE bags, MA storage, physiological and biochemical change
