However, ripe fruit smells nice. It's the over-ripe fruit that starts to smell bad. Possibly. However, AFAIK, the stink of OVER-ripe fruits is *also* a result of a mixture of different organic substances, ^^excluding^^ the aforementioned 5 categories of chemicals. Ever smelled a papaya? EEWWWWWWWW! Stinky! |
