But what chemicals are responbile for the stink of over-ripe fruits.


Putricine.....

Putricine smells like rotting flesh, which is also a foul odor but
totally different from that of ripe fruits.

To my nose, over-ripe fruits don't have a smell that even nearly
resembles rotting flesh. Both are equally bad odors, though.
