The marketable banana fruit is climatic and therefore has a short maturation period, which means shorter shelf life. Properly stored storage becomes of great value so that such transformations do not harm the commercialization of fruit. However, research is needed to provide more affordable maturation alternatives for smallholder and domestic consumption. Thus, the objective of this study was to evaluate the physical and physicochemical quality of silver banana submitted to different types of maturation. A completely randomized design with four treatments was used: CONT = environment temperature, CARB = carbide, SP = paper bag, and FOR = oven temperature, with five replications each. The fruits were collected on the same day and with the same green color. The variables analyzed were: total weight, pulp weight, shell thickness, pulp thickness, internal and external appearance; longitudinal and transverse lengths; total soluble solids (SST), total titratable acidity (TA) and SST / TA ratio. External and internal appearances were determined using a rating scale; the pulp TSS were measured in a digital refractometer; total weight and pulp weight with the aid of semi-analytical balance and acidity by titration. Carbide and bag maturation methods presented the best banana quality and shelf life. It is recommended to put the green bananas in bags to obtain higher quality ripe bananas than the other methods.
