Will bananas decompose quicker than apples?

Bananas generally decompose quicker than apples. Bananas have a higher water content than apples, and they also have a higher respiration rate. This means that they break down more quickly and produce more ethylene gas, which speeds up the ripening process. Apples, on the other hand, have a lower water content and a slower respiration rate. This means that they take longer to decompose and produce less ethylene gas, which slows down the ripening process. As a result, bananas tend to decompose quicker than apples.
