: A natural plant hormone that triggers ripening. Managing ethylene is critical for controlling the ripening speed of climacteric fruits like bananas and mangoes. Biochemical Changes During Ripening : Complex molecules like starches break down into

. High temperatures accelerate this, leading to faster deterioration. Biochemical Changes During Ripening

: The loss of moisture through pores like stomata and lenticels . Excessive water loss leads to shriveling and weight loss.

For a comprehensive guide on the , the authoritative textbook by Elhadi M. Yahia and Armando Carrillo-Lopez is the primary resource. Core Concepts of Postharvest Physiology

: Enzymes such as pectinase and cellulase degrade cell walls, causing fruit to soften.
