chlorophyll, the same pigment that gives green
leaves their color. As bananas ripen, the chlorophyll
breaks down and disappears, revealing the yellow color
which has been there all along. The yellows and oranges
of autumn leaves are also revealed as their chlorophyll
breaks down. Of course, other changes also occur as
bananas ripen: the starches change to sugar and the
flesh softens as pectin (a carbohydrate) breaks down.
To conclude "The presence and revealing of Chlorophyll " , is common in both the autumn leaves and banana ripening.
