The comparison involved six repeated harvests over transition cooler to hotter seasons. Green mature Cavendish 'Grande Naine' were shipped UK. They triggered ripen with ethylene gas and kept under simulated retail conditions. Fruit mass, colour, firmness flavour parameters measured every second day 12 d shelf life. Sensory comparisons conducted on four harvest times. Significant differences (P<0.05) quality attributes between few marginal. Moreover, any inconsistent across harvest-times during Thus, product had almost identical qualities. confirmed that there was no difference. provides data challenge a general perception organic bananas have better than conventional bananas.
