Banana (Musa acuminata AAA cv. Nanicao) slices were infiltrated with mannitol (control) and mannitol plus indole-3-acetic acid (IAA); then, some important ripening parameters like starch degradation, synthesis of ethylene and respiration were monitored. The contents of free-IAA and conjugated forms of IAA (ester and amide) were analyzed, by GC-MS-SIM, throughout the ripening in both banana slices and whole bananas. The starch degradation of IAA-treated slices was delayed for several days, but there was no difference between control and IAA-treated slices in the ethylene and respiration profiles. On day zero after infiltration, free-IAA levels were 500-fold higher in IAA-treated slices than in the control slices, but within 72 hours they declined to values 15-fold higher than those in the control group, with concomitant increase in IAA-ester. Similar to the banana slices, the onset of starch degradation occurred in whole bananas only when the free-IAA concentration was about 4 ng/g FW. The results herein suggest that IAA levels play a role during banana ripening in events like starch degradation with the consequence of banana sweetening.
