Fruits ripen faster when wrapped because wrapping traps ethylene gas, a natural ripening hormone produced by the fruit. This increased concentration of ethylene accelerates the ripening process. Additionally, wrapping can help retain moisture and warmth, creating an ideal environment for ripening. In contrast, unwrapped fruits are exposed to air, which allows ethylene to disperse and slows down the ripening process.

Why do fruits ripen faster during sunny days?
Fruits ripen faster during sunny days because sunlight provides warmth, which accelerates the chemical reactions responsible for ripening. The increase in temperature also leads to faster metabolism and hormone production in fruits, contributing to their ripening process. Additionally, sunlight can increase the production of signaling molecules such as ethylene, which further speeds up ripening.
Why green fruits ripened faster when wrapped in newspaper?
because when the banana is covered the absence of light cause the clorophyll in the skin to break down, thereby turning yellow. With this breakdown, the banana skin releases ETHELYN GAS which causes the fruit to ripen.
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.
Can banana fumes damage other fruit if placed in same bag?
