Several major changes can take place as fruits ripen. Not all occur in every type of fruit, but taken collectively they characterize ripening processes. They include: (1) a rise in respiration rate; (2) production of ethylene; (3) flesh softening; (4) appearance of colour; (5) formation of volatiles with associated development of flavour.

Among these changes, formation of bright colour, which evolved to attract dispersal agents such as birds, browsing animals and primates, now becomes a particularly important visible indicator of maturity and ripeness. Pome fruit, stone fruit, tomatoes, mangoes and straw berries provide good examples where colour is a prime indicator of ripeness.

The non-greening of leaves is called senescence. As in leaf senescence, ripening in fruits also involves chlorophyll loss and an increase in production of yellow, orange, red or purple pigments. Yellow, orange or red pigmentation, as seen in oranges and tomatoes, arise from conversion of chloroplasts to chromoplasts. In higher plants, carotenoids which are found in chromoplasts and anthocyanins which are located in the vacuoles fulfill an important purpose as colorants of fruits.
