It is a process of maturation of the fruit that it is more edible. In general, the fruit is sweeter and less acidic, less green and softer as they ripen.

The life cycle of a plant are influenced by hormones. An important plant hormone involved with ripening is ethylene, a gas created by the plant amino acid methionine. Ethylene increases the intracellular concentrations of certain enzymes in fresh fruit and cutting, including:

Amylase, the starch to simple sugars and hydrolyzed
Pectinase, which hydrolyzes the pectin, a substance that keeps the hard fruit.
Other enzymes break the chlorophyll, green pigment, the pigment is replaced by blue, yellow or red.
Hormone levels in fruit are often connected to pollination. If only very few seeds) multiseeded be made in a fruit (by the fertilization of eggs, meat and fruit may develop in some areas and is delayed or prevented as a result of aging. Fruit growers increasingly, the relationships in seed development and / or management of the pollination of fruit ripe and customizeaccordingly.
Many fruits are picked before fully ripe and ripe fruits do not ship as well. For example, bananas are picked green and ripened artificially with ethylene gas after delivery.
Some fruits, such as khaki, according bletting eaten the fermentation to lower depreciation after maturity.

SmartFresh is a useful technique to improve the quality of freshly harvested fruits and vegetables to keep. 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP 0.14%) is working with the maturation process drastically reducing the production of ethylene and avoid over-ripening and problems are associated with aging.

The fruits fall into two groups: 1) fruits that are not from continuing their ripening of the situation, once from the plant and 2) fruits can be harvested when they are split ripe and ripe extracted from the plant. The following are examples of each group:

Lychee Group 1: the berries (eg blackberries, raspberries, strawberries), cherries, citrus fruits (grapefruit, lemon, line, orange, tangerine and mandarin), grapes, pineapple, pomegranate, Tamarillo.

Group2 Früchte: apple, pear, quince, persimmons, apricots, nectarines, peaches, plums, kiwi, avocado, banana, mango, papaya, cherimoya, sapote, eighth, passion.

Fruits in the first group, the small amounts of ethylene to produce and do not respond to an increased sensitivity to ethylene. You need to be picked at full maturity, to ensure the quality of good taste.

Fruit Group 2, the production of ethylene as they are ripe. The additional exposure to ethylene ripen slowly and evenly.
