Ripe Apples DON'T Smell Bad
Thats because apples are not true fruits.
Mangoes, peaches, guava, bananas, the SE Asian durian fruit, papayas, and nectarines are true fruits. That is why they stink badly when ripe. Their stinks is increased exponentially if they are canned. It probably has something to do with the sugar in the canned variety. Often canned fruits are bathed in sugary syrup. Perhaps the sugar reacts with the certain ripe chemicals of the fruits [including but not limited to esters, aldehydes, and terpenes] and thus produce a stink. I can't stand it. Sour, unripe red and green fruits are so fresh, sour, energizing, clean, rejuvenating, lively, and effervescent. The perfume of heaven is the scent given off by these fruits Ripe yellow fruits, OTOH, are stinky, stale, tickly, annoying, irritating, frightening, and putrid. They make my skin crawl. Eww. Its the smell of hell. |

Durian is interesting. Unlike the other fruits mentioned, it really does smell bad. Really bad. Hotels in Asia tell their guests durians aren't allowed in the rooms. But surprisingly, it tastes great. What chemical(s) produce the durian stink? Ripe yellow fruits, OTOH, are stinky, stale, tickly, annoying, irritating, frightening, and putrid. They make my skin crawl. Eww. Its the smell of hell. You need therapy....... No, he seems to have a yummy fruit sensor in his nose connected to the "stink" nerves or something. But he doesn't recognize that he's unusual/unique in this regard. Given that apples don't have that reaction on him, maybe someone can recognize a chemical present in the other ripe fruits but not apples. However, apples are as just as much a fruit as the others. Trying opening a can of syrupy mangoes in a warm enivornment. The stink will you traumatize you. Canned mangoes...mmmmm....yummy. But fresh ones are much nicer. |

What I don't like is stink they emit when ripe. Most fruits have the same basic flavor whether ripe or unripe. Its just that they emit an additional odor when ripe that happens to be extremely foul. More and more I am starting to think this has to do with the sugar since canned syrupy fruits stink more than fresh fruits. I could be mistaken about the sugar part, just maybe. I've tried opening up a large pack of sugar and smelling it, the sugar does have a mild foul odor but not nearly as foul as that of canned ripe fruits. So maybe its the reactions of the sugars and "ripe fruit chemicals" that produce the foul odors when combined. I like lemonade without sugar. Once sugar is added, the lemonade begins to smell sort of bad. Once again though, I really enjoy the flavors of most fruits. |

Again, it's something unique about you that thinks ripe fruits smell foul. You write as if most people think ripe fruits smell foul, which is far from the truth. Perhaps you can find an organic chemist with access to several aldehydes etc. to find the specific chemical you have the odd reaction to, or maybe sniff the artificial flavorings from a supermarket, if you're that curious. Also fruits have a wide variety of flavors, once you get past the basic sweet and tart/acid tastes most have. |

Perhaps you can find an organic chemist with access to several aldehydes etc. to find the specific chemical you have the odd reaction to, or maybe sniff the artificial flavorings from a supermarket, if you're that curious. I've bought artifical flavorings. They smell pleasant, actually. My guess is that the foul smell in ripe fruits has something to do with the sugar reacting with a countless variety of other organic compounds present in fruits. This is because I prefer lemonade w/out sugar. When sugar is added, the lemonade smells bad to me. I also notice that pure table sugar does have somewhat of a foul odor. Do most sniffers think suger smells bad? Has anyone actually stuck their nose into a container of pure table suger? I've done that and it does smell bad but not as strong ripe fruits. So, once again, I guess it has to do with sugars reacting the the organic substances present in the fruits. There are countless different organic and odor-producing substances in fruits. The smell may not be of just one compound but billions of different compounds put together. In addition, the same chemical that smells good in smaller quantities may smell bad in larger concentrations [and visa versa]. The pleasantness of the fruit's odor may also be determined by the proportions of different organic compounds to each other. Temperature and humidity may also play a factor in whether compound smell or not and whether their smells are pleasant or not. In addition, some compounds have to be mixed together to have any odor at all and are totally odorless when seperated [visa versa is also true]. Proportions of different compounds to either may also play a role as to whether there is any smell or not. Some compounds that affect or cause odors haven't yet been discovered. Also fruits have a wide variety of flavors, once you get past the basic sweet and tart/acid tastes most have. I am well aware that different fruits have their own specific pleasant flavors. I like almost all fruity flavors. What I hate is the ripe smell. I hate the smell of sugary fruits. Sugary fruits may taste "sweet" but they certainly do *not* smell "sweet". They smell bad. |

Sugar does have an unpleasant odor. And I like raw lemons. I like almost all fruity flavors. What I hate is the ripe smell. I hate the smell of sugary fruits. Sugary fruits may taste "sweet" but they certainly do *not* smell "sweet". They smell bad. Your talking about sugary fruit, reminds of banana bread pudding. Not that I ever thought the smell was out of the ordinary or distasteful, I think your olfactory sensitivity might be a little more sensitive than others. There was a body fat test performed on a class of students at one time. The test measures the amount of electrical impedance in the body to get a reading. A whole class of fourty students had a lead hooked up to one hand and a lead hooked up to another hand. Everyone experienced the test. Unfortunately or fortunately, no one else felt a thing. The instructor mentioned that no one would feel anything. When the current ran through me, I felt it move up my right arm, swirl in my head and then move down the left arm. In fact, it spooked me and I blurted out, "Hey I felt that!" No one else admitted feeling anything. Hope this helps. -- Jim Carlock Post replies to the group. |
