What type of chemical change makes the vegetables spoil?
The chemical change that causes vegetables to spoil is typically due to oxidation, enzymatic reactions, and microbial activity. Oxidation leads to the breakdown of nutrients and pigments, enzymatic reactions degrade cellular structures, and microbial activity produces compounds that contribute to spoilage. These processes result in changes in color, texture, flavor, and overall quality of the vegetables.
