Abstract
The levels of the sesquiterpene hydrocarbon, alpha-farnesene were found to be higher in green bananas (Musa accuminata AAA) that were more susceptible to the development of chilling injury. The levels of alpha-farnesene were further increased by storage of the fruit at low temperature.Keywords
