Do apples have gas?

Post by deleted-39435 »

5th grader wants to show that apples make bananas ripen faster than a banana standing alone...is there anyway to prove that it is the ethylene oxide gas that makes the ripening happen faster? Christie

Hi,

You may be interested in this Science Buddies Project writeup on ethylene in fruit ripening:

I think this project is the answer to your question. If not, post back and we will try again.

Best wishes for a great science fair project!

Best Regards,
