Abstract

• Ethylene is a naturally occurring plant growth substance that has numerous effects on the growth, development and storage life of many fruits, vegetables. Harvested fruits and vegetables may be intentionally or unintentionally expose to biologically active levels of ethylene and both endogenous and exogenous sources of ethylene contribute to its biological activity. In this paper the concentration of elements contained in the musa samples were analyzed by using EDXRF method and discussed the effects of different ethylene treatments on the musa.
