Why Do Ripe Fruits Smell Bad?
Hi:
I notice that many fruit emit foul odors when ripe. What chemicals are responisble for this? I hate those odors. That why I like to eat apricots, peaches, and similar fruits when they are sour, hard, and greenish. When sour, hard, and greenish, most fruits smell pleasant. When they are too ripe, they become excessively sweet, grossly-soft up and turn mucus-yellow; this is when they start to STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEEEENK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What causes those immeasureably-foul odors? Thanks, Radium |

Well, I am pretty much opposite. Nothing worse for me than a green banana. I like them soft, and fragrant, and yellow, and mushy so I can mash them up with peanut butter....

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

What causes those immeasureably-foul odors? Could be Ethylene. From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripen): "Stages of a plant's life are influenced by hormones. An important plant hormone involved with ripening is the chemical ethylene, a gas created by plants from the amino acid methionine. Ethylene causes increased levels of certain enzymes in fruit, which include: * Amylase, which breaks down starch to produce simple sugars, and * Pectinase, which breaks down pectin, a substance that keeps fruit hard. Other enzymes break down the lime pigment chlorophyll, which is replaced by blue, yellow, or red pigments." This is how some people will ripen tomatoes....by placing a ripe apple in a paper bag with the unripe tomato. The ethylene emitted by the apple will ripen the tomato. From this idea, I figured out how to keep my banana from going black in a couple days after I buy them. Since they ripen each other (being in such close proximity), I separate them when I get them home. They can last a week or more. (More than enough time to consume them). .. |

What causes those immeasureably-foul odors? Could be Ethylene. Extremely unlikely. Quote from http://www.mindfully.org/Plastic/Ethylene-Gas.htm : "A flammable, colorless, gas with a characteristic sweet odor" The odor I perceive from over-ripened fruit is very foul. Ever try smelling a papaya up close? How about a mango that is over-ripened? http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/CV206 quote: "Ethylene is a colorless gas with a sweet odor." So ethylene is most likely not the direct cause of the foul odor. http://ucce.ucdavis.edu/datastore/de...rveynumber=267 quote: "Ethylene enhances several processes associated with fruit ripening, including development of odour-active aroma volatiles (especially esters)." Apparently ethylene induces and speeds up the ripening process -- including the processes in which foul ripe odors are produced -- but does not directly cause the foul odor of over-ripe fruits. It has to be something else. What is it? From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ripen): "Stages of a plant's life are influenced by hormones. An important plant hormone involved with ripening is the chemical ethylene, a gas created by plants from the amino acid methionine. Ethylene causes increased levels of certain enzymes in fruit, which include: * Amylase, which breaks down starch to produce simple sugars, and * Pectinase, which breaks down pectin, a substance that keeps fruit hard.

My favorite peaches have an equal amount of red scattered along with equal amount of green. They are hard, juicy, and sour. But I just abhor when the green part turns yellow. If its moderately ripe that also okay but it should not have that stink associated with ripe fruits. This stink I describe is somewhat like non-sour milk [especially when boiled], fresh swiss cheese, smelly feet, crotch-sweat, thigh-sweat, female-genitalia, neck-sweat, yellow mucus, back-sweat, dirty socks, sweaty shirts, filthy scalp, unwashed hair, etc. (We're wired that way for a reason - the tannins in green fruit don't agree with our digestive tract.) I seriously doubt that. I think its more to do with personal experience. Emotions and memories play a vital part in olfactory functions. It's entirely possible that your problem is simply that you perceive ethylene differenty than everyone else does. I doubt its ethylene. Ethylene has a sweet pleasant smell to it. I have smelled it myself in a lab. It beautiful. I like the smell of ethylene, ethanol, as well as the scents emitted from sour fruits. -- .NET 2.0 for Delphi Programmers http://www.midnightbeach.com/.net Delphi skills make .NET easy to learn Being printed - in stores by June |

Ethylene is effective at ripening fruits at a parts-per-billion level.
It only begins to smell sweet at concentrations above 500 parts-per-million. much higher than would be found in a ripening fruit. "An ethylene by any other name would smell as sweet!"

The 2nd group have a milky smell. So I guess that there are many compounds that give ripe fruit its stink.

Why Do Ripe Fruits Smell Bad?
Many times a passing animal will try to fertilize the fruiting plant by
unloading its colon on the ground above the roots. This stink is then absobed into the fruit only when fully ripe. The feces juice turns the green fruit a different color and imparts to it a diarrhea-like smell. I have tongued my wife's anus during foreplay occasionally, but only after she was recently showered. Hence, I am somewhat used to the odor, whereas you may simply be unaccustomed to it. My advice to you would be to get to know your grocer or produce supplier and ask them if it would at all be possible if you could obtain requested fruit in its green form. |
