The storage life of bananas and other fruits is prolonged by ventilating them with air at less than atmospheric pressure. This procedure accelerates the escape of the ripening hormone ethylene from the tissue; by reducing the oxygen tension it also lowers the fruit's sensitivity to the hormone.
用气压低于大气压的空气对香蕉和其他水果进行通风处理,可以延长它们的贮藏寿命。这一过程会加速成熟激素乙烯从组织中逸出;通过降低氧气分压,也会降低水果对激素的敏感性。
