That is, the enzymes involved during the ripening process of fruits such as pectinase etc as well as the changes in organic acids, flavonoids and other compounds during the ripening of fruits
Changes during ripening in alcohol-insoluble solids and texture declined rapidly during ripening. The dietary fibres decreased as the fruits lost their firmness and became soft. Polygalacturonase and cellulase activities of the fruit tissues increased markedly during ripening.
Both polygalacturonase and cellulase were absent or present at only a low level in the green date but displayed large increases in activity during ripening. The changes in polygalacturonase and cellulase activity were reflected in a reduction in fruit firmness and a decrease in anhydrogalacturonic acid and cellulose content during ripening. Pectinesterase (PE) activity decrease during ripening, but its activity was increased in date during ripening, although the degree of esterification (DE) of pectin decreased.
the change in fruits ripping depend on fruits type
costata (tannins)
tomato (lycopene)
carrots (carotenoids)
orange (vitamin C)
any way, you must determine polyphenols - flavonoids as a micro major components
