Modified Atmosphere Storage (MAS) appliance to extend the fruit shelf time, is mostly investigated by measuring the biological quality or simulating the gas behavior inside the storage. The measurement and simulation studies aim to test the preservation during stationary storage for freshly pick fruit but not covering the post-harvest fruit, investigation the impact of MAS to biological quality parameter is conducted partially, current technology is limited only for one fruit type, and limited study for MAS impact to energy release due to respiration mode during storage. The carbon dioxide and oxygen ratio inside MAS storage, is the controlling parameter to prolong the shelf time during all storage mode by decelerating the respiration rate in exothermic process. Therefore, this experimental study aims to investigate the influence various high concentration carbon dioxide application in three levels, which consist of 30%, 40%, and 50% toward the mass, skin thickness, hardness, and glucose as the comprehensive approach. This study also covers explanation fruit ability to absorb light in the form of direct bandgap energy as an indicator of ripening process through the fruit pigment changes. The study result MAS treatment highly effective to retain mass, skin thickness, and hardness with 30% CO2 application for banana and bandgap energy show banana has the lowest eV after MAS treatment in comparison to storage under room temperature, and direct bandgap energy able to describe the fruit respiration rate slowing down during MAS treatment.
