Why do my Banana’s go Brown so quickly?
- High amounts of ethylene cause the yellow pigments in bananas to decay into those characteristic brown spots in a process called enzymatic browning. This natural browning process is also observed when fruits become bruised. A damaged or bruised banana will produce an even higher amount of ethylene, ripening (and browning) faster than if undamaged.
To keep sliced bananas from turning brown, squeeze some lemon juice or juice from any citrus fruit on them to slow the production of enzymes that cause browning. If you are using the banana slices in a salad, mix them with high-acid fruits like pineapple, tangerine, and grapefruit as their juice helps to slow the browning process.
