Storage of bananabelow the optimum temperature could lead to the development of chilling injury. The symptoms were mostly apparent in the peel, which wasindicated by peel discolouration such as increase of degree of browning and decrease of colour values. Possibly, some physico-chemical changes suchas changes in electrolyte leakage, weight loss, firmness, titratable acidity and soluble solids concentration will also take place in banana concomitantlyas chilling injury symptoms were manifested. The objective of this study was to characterize chilling injury development of _eBerangan_f banana (Musacv. Berangan (AAA)) during storage at low temperature. _eBerangan_f banana were stored at 5, 10 and 15oC for 16 days to evaluate peel electrolyteleakage (PEL), degree of browning (DOB), peel colour (L*, C* and ho), weight loss (WL), peel firmness (PF), soluble solids concentration (SSC)andtitratable acidity (TA). The results showed that DOB, PEL, SSC and weight loss increased significantly (P.0.01), while, peel colour (L*, C* and ho)decreased significantly (P.0.01)when _eBerangan_f bananas were exposed to 5oC. The significant (P.0.01)increase of DOB and SSC, and thesignificant (P.0.01)decrease of peel colour (L*, C* and ho)were not followed by an increase of PEL and WL when banana fruits were exposed to10oC. Therefore, DOB, PEL, SSC, WL, and colour (L*, C* and ho)were considered to be reliable quantitative measures of chilling damage of_eBerangan_f banana during storage at 5oC. On the other hand, changes in the values of DOB, colour (L*, C* and ho)and SSC could be used as indicatorsof chilling injury of _eBerangan_f banana stored at 10oC UR - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SNCdqqAkl9hFt1GcmojQ0xQY6Tgoq0gz/view?usp=drivesdk ER -
