A couple possibilities you haven't considered are ethyl acetate and isoamyl acetate. http://www.osha.gov/dts/sltc/methods...42/pv2142.html According to the above link, isoamyl acetate smells like pears or bananas. Wrong chemical. http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/healthguide...cognition.html According to the above link, ethyl acetate has a pleasant fruity odor. Again, wrong chemical. Neither ethyl acetate or isoamyl acetate are responsble for the ripe fruit odor. |

You'll need to smell them yourself to determine if they match with what is bothering you. Pineapple has a lot of ethyl acetate. Bananas have a lot of isoamyl acetate. |
