Cellulose gel produced by Acetobacter xylinum DK was homogenized and used as material for preparing the cellulose gel-coating solution for banana (cv. Kluai Khai). The suitable formulation of this coating solution consisted of 1 part of cassava flour:10 part of cellulose gel and 60 part of water. After visual observation of coated and no coated banana at 32 deg C , it could be obviously noticed that the color change of coated banana rind was delayed when compared with no coated banana. In addition, coating with this cellulose gel-coating solution caused to prolong the reduction of sugar content in banana.
