Is potassium hydroxide produced when bananas decay?
When bananas get overripe they can begin to burn the throat. Maybe someone will know if such a reaction is occurring.
PS. To extend the holding time of bananas, place them in a plastic bag, squeeze out the air, and seal it shut. Then place them in the refrigerator. This way they will last several times longer without turning brown. The flavor is preserved as well. (I discovered this method.)
