ripening process

基本解釋

The growth and ripening process of bananas, however, is different.
然而，香蕉的生長和成熟過程卻竝不是這樣。
Keep your bananas on the kitchen counter and let the fruits ripen. The ripening process is prevented if bananas are put in the cooler.
把香蕉放在櫥櫃上，讓它們自然成熟就好。因爲如果放冷卻器裡，香蕉成熟的過程會受到阻礙。
However, in fruit that are picked before complete ripening (e.g., apples, bananas, pears), much of the stored starch is converted to sugars as ripening process.
可是，在許多完全成熟前摘下的水果（如蘋果、香蕉、梨）中，貯存的大部分澱粉會在繼續(xù)成熟時轉(zhuǎn)化爲糖。馬鈴薯在冷藏間還原糖含量也會增加。

Otherwise, Chiquita sends bananas to several distribution centers, where they are stored in "ripening rooms" designed to reactivate the ripening process.
