Abstract
Banana ‘Mas’ (Musa acuminata colla) is one of high productivity Indonesian superior fruits. However, because of its thin skin tissue, banana could easily damage physiologically as a result of inappropriate maturity levels determinations and postharvest handling. The aim of this research was to determine the relationship between storage duration and banana ‘Mas’ characteristics at various levels of maturity, based on color index of 4, 5, 6 gamma ray irradiation dose of 0.3 kGy for 6 days of storage. The results showed that there was a closely relationship between the duration of banana ‘Mas’ storage (6 days) at various levels of maturity as a result of irradiation of 0.3 kGy, to the physical and chemical characteristics of banana ‘Mas’, indicated by the correlation coefficient value approaching +1 and the determination coefficient between 78% - 99%.
