68% Informative

British experts have altered the fruit’s genetics so it remains firm, fresh and yellow for about 24 hours after opening, even when sliced.

The company has worked out how to target genes responsible for production of an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase, which causes the browning, and disable them.

Tropic already has the go-ahead to sell the bananas in the Philippines , Colombia , Honduras , the USA and Canada , where it will launch later this month .
