Bananas
Bananas (Musa paradisiaca) are the world's best-selling fruit. Bananas belong to the genus of perennial herbaceous plants of the banana family. Bananas are one of the oldest cultivated plants and are the fourth largest cultivated crop in the world. In total, there are over 40 types of bananas, forming about 500 different varieties (however, most of them are little cultivated).
Bananas are harvested unripe and they ripen in warehouses before distribution to the final clients. Bananas are delivered to Russia by sea by refrigerated ships, the refrigeration allows keeping fruits in a state of “removable” maturity during the entire period of transportation. The fruit is packed in a banavac package, which allows you to save all the useful properties of the fruit during transportation and ensure the maximum shelf life due to the modified gas environment.
Ripen banana pulp acquires high nutritional and taste qualities which are so appreciated by consumers. The quality of ripe bananas is largely determined by the ability to store green and yellow bananas properly, as well as to ripen them according to the standards required within the planned time frame. Our company has many years of experience and knowledge of the main factors affecting the vital activity of these fruits, and also has the necessary technical base, which guarantees a stable high quality of the products we supply. Our ripening complex counts 42 modern cameras and is one of the biggest in the Russian Federation.
The main factors that are crucial for the life of bananas:
- ambient temperature;
- relative humidity;
- composition of the surrounding gaseous medium;
- air circulation during storage and ripening.
