Constants The constants are the ripening and spoiling period of the banana and the taste of the banana. Results

Abstract
This experiment was designed to provide individuals with the best time to buy the bananas in the store. My hypothesis was that If there is a smaller amount of starch in the banana at the harvesting period, then the banana will take a longer time to spoil and a shorter time to ripen. To prove my hypothesis I measured the sugar content in different bananas at different stages of ripeness by melting the banana peel and mixed it with benedicts solution and distilled water. The color of the solution determined the amount of sugar in the substance. Then I recorded the changes over time of the different bananas and calculated the time it took for the bananas to spoil. This information made me conclude that the best time to buy a banana is when it is completely green and containing the least amount of sugar

Materials * 15 bananas (For Determining Sugar content) * 3 completely green * 3 greenish yellow * 3 yellow * 3 spotted brown * 3 completely brown * 15 Bananas (for

    Experiment: Which Fruit Decomposes The Fastest

    On the fourth day, the apple and pear were a little darker on the cut part, and the banana had become completely brown, inside and out. The strawberry and orange were the same as the day before. On day five, the strawberry flattened and white, fluffy, stringy mold overtook it. Its juice was inside the container. All the other fruits looked the same. The banana and strawberry did not change much on the sixth day, but the orange finally had a little bit of white mold growing on its peel. The pear and the apple were a little browner than before. At the end of the week, I found that the entire banana was black. The apple and pear skins browned a little, and everything else was the same. The answer to my original question is a banana rots the fastest out of the other fruits in a sealed container. My hypothesis was incorrect, because I predicted that the strawberry would decompose first, but it was actually the banana that did. If I were to complete this experiment again, I would not put the fruit in containers, so that they would be exposed to fresh air the whole time, like they are in a real…
