Why do ripe fruits - especially when canned - smell bad?

"Radium" wrote in message ups.com... snips My guess is the stink of ripe fruits is a result of a mixture of different organic substances, excluding the following: 1. putricine product of decay of proteins (nitrogen containing compounds) 2. ethylene [sweet smell] really fairly odorless 3. butyric acid [or any acid/acidic substance for that matter] smells sort of goatlike, is this what you percieve 4. ethanol [sweet smell resembling most alcoholic beverages] this is a product of fruit decay 4. chemicals resulting from fungus whay to say this? 5. chemicals resulting from decomposition all of the above are the results of decomposition to some degree. These all sound about right. However, ripe fruit smells nice. It's the over-ripe fruit that starts to smell bad. j. |
