Storage stabilities of Philippine bananas were investigated according to storage pretreatments and packaging methods during 60 days storage at 13deg C. Better storage stability was observed in bananas packaged with 60micron m low density polyethylene (PE) film inside the carton box than those without inside pack. Radiation gave the adverse effects on bananas' storage stabilities. Shelf-life of bananas in PE package was 60 days, but that of radiated bananas was only 20 days. And shelf-life of bananas in no-inner pack was 20 days. Soluble solid content of bananas packaged with PE film was 17 Brix degree after 60 days storage, but that with no inner package was around 20 Brix after 20 days. Color was below 3 in color chart after 60 days storage and hardness rapidly decreased from 40 days in bananas packaged with PE film, but color became 3 after 30 days and hardness rapidly decreased after 20 days in bananas without inner package. Percentage of deteriorated bananas were below 3 % in PE films after 60 days storage, but 100 % after 40 days in bananas without inner package.
