Fruits release ethylene gas as they ripen, which can be trapped when wrapped in newspaper. This gas concentration speeds up the ripening process due to the enclosed environment promoting ethylene build-up. This accelerates the fruit ripening compared to leaving it exposed.

Is it true that wrapping fruits in newspaper cause them to ripen more quickly?
yes this is true...when fruits are wrapped, the ethylene gas is trapped close to the fruit and a greater concentration of the gas is available to the fruit. because ethylene gas is a ripening hormone it causes the fruit to ripen quicker than if exposed to air.
