A chemical called Ethylene is what causes unripened fruit to ripen faster when placed next to a ripe fruit. The ripe fruit gives of this chemical, naturally of course.
Unripe fruits contain mostly complex carbohydrates like starch, which get broken down into simpler sugars like glucose as the fruit ripens. This process makes the fruit sweeter and more palatable. Unripe fruits are typically harder and have a more astringent taste due to the higher starch content.
Ripening of fruit is considered irreversible because it involves a series of biochemical and physiological changes that lead to the breakdown of complex compounds, such as starches and acids, into simpler sugars, and the softening of the fruit's texture. These changes are driven by enzymes and hormones that alter the fruit's composition and structure, making it unsuitable for reversion to its unripe state. Once these processes are initiated, they cannot be undone, marking ripening as a permanent transition.
The color change in unripe tomatoes and mangoes is due to the breakdown of chlorophyll, a green pigment, and the production of carotenoids, red-orange pigments. As the fruit ripens, the levels of carotenoids increase, causing the color change from green to red. This process signifies the development of sweetness and readiness for consumption in the fruit.
Green mangoes contain high amounts of organic acids such as citric and malic acid that give them their sour taste. As the mango ripens, these acids decrease and the natural sugars increase, resulting in a sweeter taste.
it wont. however, good fruit that is exposed to moldy fruit will mold faster than if they were by themselves. this is because the molding fruit releases a gas that causes other fruits to start decomposing.
because it is not ready yet.

Mangoes!!! Because it Taste Better whether ripe or unripe than Apples it has plain taste to me...
