Why vaccum packing of banana is done ?

After harvesting, bananas ripen in three to five days. Ripening occurs during long-distance transportation and export, resulting in significant post-harvest losses. Vacuum packing is one of the methods for delaying the ripening of fruits, in which mature banana hands are bagged and kept from coming into touch with air/oxygen. Bananas can be vacuum packed using a basic vacuum packaging device. This can postpone ripening for up to 21 days, and ripening can be completed within one week of opening the package.
