Changes in starch granules, total starch content, amylopectin content, and SS activity in banana pulp at different stages of development and during storage. (A) Banana fruit at different development stages (0, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 DAF) and following storage for varying amounts of time (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 DPH), (B) SEM of starch granules in pulp during banana fruit development, (C) SEM of starch granules in pulp during banana fruit storage, (D) Total starch content in banana pulp at different stages of development and during storage, (E) Amylopectin content in banana pulp at different stages of development and during storage, (F) SS activity in banana pulp at different stages of development and during storage. DAF: days after emergence from the pseudostem; DPH: days of post-harvest. The vertical bars represent the mean ± SD of three replicates. Asterisks indicate significant difference from 0 DAF and 0 DPH vs. the following days (∗p < 0.05; ∗∗p < 0.01). Scale bar = 20 μm.
