advantages of artificial fruits ripening in 150 word .I will mark as brianlist

Answer 1

Fruit ripening is a natural process which also can be stimulated using different artificial fruit ripening agents. In the recent years, the effect of artificial ripening has become questionable because of various health related issues. There are direct and indirect health hazards associated with artificial ripening agents and their impurities, which require qualitative and quantitative analysis of chemical toxicity and their impact on fruit quality. To understand the possible health hazards, it is important to analyze chemicals present within artificially-ripened fruits, and to analyze any change in food value. This article sheds light on the usages of different chemical compounds as artificial fruit ripening agents, their mechanisms, their effects on fruit quality, and possible health impacts. The existing laws and legislations practiced in different countries are also reported here. The paper gives an overview of different aspects of artificial ripening, and the key factors which should be borne in mind while choosing right fruits. The key objective of the paper is to address the problems associated with artificial ripening and bring them to the notice of the scientific and non-scientific communities.
