Hello

Simultaneous with fruit ripening The amount of organic acids By breathing or Becoming to sugar Is reduced

 With the onset of fruit ripening there is downward trend in the levels of organic acids. The decline in the content of organic acids during fruit ripening might be the result of an increase in membrane permeability which allows acids to be stored in the respiring cells, formation of salts of malic acid, reduction in the amounts of acid translocated from the leaves, reduced ability of fruits to synthesize organic acids with fruit maturity, translocation into sugars and dilution effect due to the increase in the volume of fruit.  However it has also been explained that fruit ripening is a genetically programmed stage of development overlapping with senescence. The constituents and process may vary for non-climacteric  climacteric fruits.

DR. Suresh K Malhotra has correctly explained the reasons of  decreasing org acid in ripening fruits. Basically the phenomenon relates to biochemistry and biochemical processes going on in plants at this plant growth stage.

The Organic acids are decreased during crop ripening because  used in the respiration. and changed to sugars during fruit ripening.also associated with some elements, further the ratio sugar/acid increase.  

The acidity of grape juice changes during the development and maturation of the grape berries.  On the beginning, berries increase the acidity of the grape juice is increased (formation of organic acids in the leaf and green berry) on account of incomplete oxidation of the sugars since it under anaerobic conditions has Krebs cycle. This increase goes to its maximum and then falling levels of acidity to the emergence a vèrasion came to a sudden and large drop acid (reduces the content of free acids and increases the quantity of primary and neutral salts). In the further process of maturing grapes continues to decline in value of acidity is softer and more even flow. Decrease of acidity value, in the period of maturation of the berries is conditioned by total oxidation of the acid, into the water and CO2, partly due to breathing berries, and partly due to the neutralization of the acid with an alkaline nutrients from the soil, plant juices, which receives the vines through the roots. Bond formed between the acid and the alkali salt results in the formation. Part of the acid will bind with Ca and Mg and is most frequently used, potassium acid tartrate. The inflow of alkali, as well as other nutrients, depends on the precipitation during the period of maturation berries (grape). In dry years is the inflow of alkali is also relatively less acid in the grapes will be more in the free state, and thus the real acidity (pH) is higher (less acid). With greater rainfall more abundant nutrition of vines, and thus higher neutralizing acid berry, which results in a lower real acidity (more acid).

The amount of organic acids in fruits decreases as a result of their consumption in the process of respiration or changed into sugars at  ripening

Because organic acids consumed in the stage of fruit ripening due to high respiration.

in grape ripening, the grape specific tartaric acid concentration stay almost constant during ripening however with a slight decrease, but nothing compared the the fast descrese in malic acid, which is metabolized and used e.g. in the sugar production.

I the fermentation process during winemaking, the tartatisc acid decrease slightly, while the malic acid mainly remain in the wine, expect if a malolactic bacterial change of Malic acid to Lactic acid, or a maloethanolic yeast fermentation (few selective yeast strains) of malic azid into ethanol occur.

Thefore the respirartion based decrese in acids depend of the type of acid. Also new acids are formed during fermentation, like succinic acid is smaller amount.

Lactic acid is not a natural produkt of fermentation, but occur during bacterial malolactic fermentation but also as a results of unwanted bacterial activity dirung wine production. In this case D-lactic acid is form, while a malolactic germentation with Oenococcus opine form explicit L-lactic acid.

Organic acids are decreased during fruit ripening, because most of the acid are used in the process of respiration and changed to sugars during fruit ripening.
