    Banana is a nutritious dessert with its rising demand resulting in the use of ripening agents to increase the ripening rate of bananas. There is, however, limited information on the effect these ripening agents may have on banana quality, including the flavor of bananas. This study determined the effect of CaC<inf>2</inf> and ethephon on the flavor profile of ‘Kluai Hom Thong’ (Musa AAA) banana at the ripe and overripe stages of ripening. Bananas were harvested at the green matured stage and treated with 1000 ppm ethephon and 3.07g/kg CaC<inf>2</inf>. Samples were taken at the fully ripe and overripe stages and analyzed using GC–MS. The Relative Odor Activity Value (ROAV) was also calculated. Esters were the most dominant volatile compounds in both the ripe and overripe stages. Ethephon and CaC<inf>2</inf> reduced the amount of esters in the bananas. Detection and relative content of alcohol and aldehyde volatile compounds varied among treatments. Isoamyl acetate (1-Butanol, 3-methyl-, acetate), an ester, was dominant in both stages of ripening with the control sample having a significantly higher amount among samples. Isoamyl acetate was established as the key volatile compound contributing to the overall aroma and flavor of Musa AAA. Ripening stage and treatments were observed to affect this key volatile compound and could contribute to significant changes in the perception of untreated and treated bananas. Therefore, care has to be taken when using ripening agents as they may affect the flavor of bananas. CaC<inf>2</inf>, however, may contain toxic chemicals; therefore, should be used with caution.

    The objective of this research was to develop a new type of edible coating using jicama starch (JS) in order to control the postharvest deterioration of ‘Sucrier’ bananas (Musa acuminata AA group cv. ‘Kluai Khai’) during the ripening process in ambient condition (25 ± 1 °C, 85-90 % RH). The preliminary experiment was carried out to investigate the impact of JS concentration (0, 2.5, 5.0, and 7.5 % w/v) on the postharvest quality of bananas. The application of JS demonstrated a delay in banana ripening, including color development, weight loss, and fruit firmness. Within the JS-treated banana groups, 5.0 % treated bananas displayed higher firmness compared to the other groups. Therefore, a validation experiment was conducted to verify the subsequent physicochemical alterations in bananas after subjecting bananas to 5.0 % JS coating in comparison to non-treated bananas during storage at ambient condition. The JS treatment maintained the color and visual appearance by minimizing the formation of malondialdehyde content and electrical conductivity during storage. Furthermore, it resulted in a delay in the increases in total soluble solid, titratable acidity, BrimA, and total carotenoid concentrations in the pulp. Nevertheless, the ascorbic acid and phenolic contents and 2,2-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl scavenging activity of the control samples were likely to be higher than those of the treated bananas, whereas the ferric reducing antioxidant potential of both control and treated bananas showed a comparable trend throughout storage. The outcomes demonstrate that the utilization of JS is an effective approach for improving the overall storage capacity of ‘Sucrier’ bananas.
