Most people would think that the only thing that happens to a fruit when it ripens is change color but there is more to that. Fruit don't ripen on a tree as much as they do in a fridge or on a table. What you can do so they wont ripen as easily is buy from loose fruit rack, so you can smell it and check for no bruising or mould or damp . Also don't fridge before a fruit is ripe, since this ruins the ripening. Once ripe, or immediately for non-ripening fruit, eat. Otherwise, store in fridge to slow air breathing, in plastic bag to stop moisture loss, but unsealed to avoid stinking .If you like buying fresh fruit at a market or grocery store, chances are you know how to choose the fruit, too. You don't want it too ripe, but you don't want it under ripe. They're ways you can ripen fruit when you buy them under ripe, first Find a dry spot to ripen your fruit. The fruit can mold if it gathers too much moisture. Secondly use a container with a tight lid. The lid helps trap the ethylene gas ( a type of gas that is chemically a hydrocarbon with the formula H4C2). that fruits give off as they ripen. The fruit ripens faster in higher concentrations of ethylene gas. You can also use a brown paper bag. Fold the bag top down to keep in the ethylene gas. Next you Place a fruit near other fruits that give off higher concentrations of ethylene gas. Apples and bananas give off higher concentrations of gas than other fruits. Place apples and bananas together, and the fruit will ripen much quicker. Then you check for ripeness of the fruit. Gently touch the skin of the fruit. If you can push the skin into the fruit a little then the fruit is ripe. If the skin gives too much or there are bruised spots or other discoloration, the fruit is too ripe. Finally you store most ripened fruits in the refrigerator , and use these ripened fruits immediately I going to be doing for my experiment is having different type of fruits for a week out sitting on a table and see what happens. Then have the same exact fruits in a refrigerator for a week and see if its better having it in a cold place or having it in a place with different temperatures. Generally what cause fruits to ripens is because of exposure to oxygen. During transit and storage some produce that are set in oxygen temperature environment to control this effect.A fruit ripens faster in a paper bag faster what causes this to happen is that when a fruit is picked , it releases ethylene gas. This chemical causes the fruit's cells to make all the changes involved with ripening chlorophyll is broken down, causing color changes; starches are converted into sugars, making the fruit sweet and less mealy; acids are broken down, causing it to taste less sour; and pectin is broken down, making it softer.Many things happen as fruit ripens. Unripe fruit is often green, sour, odorless, hard. The ripening process makes the fruit more appealing the color of the skin changes as chlorophyll (the green stuff in plants) is broken down, the acids that make the fruit sour are broken down, and larger molecules are made into smaller ones that then evaporate as aroma. Suddenly, we have a soft, juicy, sweet, fragrant, colorful animal attractor.

Well, the first thing you notice is the color to green to yellow. Then the second thing you might notice is the taste. When the bannana is at it's green stage, the taste is bitter, kind of leaving a bad taste in your mouth after you eat it... When the bannana is at it's yellow stage, the taste is very different. It's not bitter; kind of what you expect a bannana to taste like. Very sweet, does not leave a bad taste in your mouth after you eat it.
Because of the enzymes in the fruit that speeds up the decomposition of the fruit.
A starch is actually a long chain of sugar molecules. As the fruit ripens, the starches break apart into the sugar molecules. This is why they become sweeter as they ripen.

Biochemical reactions are taking place when fruit ripens.
After pollination the ovules develop into seed and the ovary ripens to become the fruit. This firstly protects the ripening seeds, the ripened fruit sometimes assists with seed dispersal as they are eaten by animals who then transport and deposit the seed in different locations.
The starches are converted to sugars.
