Banana is a perishable fruit, the banana distributor is usually carried out by air transport, but this mode of transport is not only pollution but also your price. Recently, scientists have developed a computer-controlled through the preservation of the way for a long banana in the sea after the remains fresh.

Tropical areas ripe bananas, was put into a special box. These boxes installed in a number of mobile phone-sized monitor, the monitor will transport up to half a month¡¯s course of fruit on the state record, and will record these data to the computer. Computer data will be processed fruit on the container to adjust the temperature so that the environment has always been kept inside for the fresh fruit at a lower temperature. In addition to an appropriate degree of low-temperature preservation, if necessary, the container will be injected nitrogen in order to reduce the oxygen content of the box.

It is reported that when the environment to reduce the oxygen content of about 2%, the banana will enter "sleep" state, greatly slowing the speed of oxidation. It is reported that this new method of preservation of agricultural products can help dealers to better the quality of agricultural products produced in transportation areas, to the world. Not only that, the ocean carbon dioxide emissions by only 25 points one of the air, and inexpensive, can be said to serve multiple purposes.
