Abstract
The banana is considered a good model to study the sucrose-starch processing, since it accumulates a high starch content during development, which is degraded during fruit ripening. The enzymes involved in starch degradation pathways and sucrose synthesis are: ±-amylase, ²-amylase, starch phosphorylases, debranching enzymes, glucan-water-dikinase (GWD), fosfoglucano-water-dikinase (PWD) a…
