AS demand for fresh fruits rises in summer, cases of artificial ripening of fruits, too, go up. Food safety department officials, in just one week in April, seized 7,500kg of mangoes and 800kg of avocados that were artificially ripened using chemicals from traders and shops in Koyambedu market.
Fruit ripening is a natural process involving multiple physiological, biochemical, and molecular changes. These processes induce changes in the color, sugar content, acidity, texture, and aroma, but they are time consuming. Artificially ripened fruits, however, don't need a lot of time but use of chemicals causes health issues such as headache, dizziness, and sleep disorder. They can also harm nervous system, cause memory loss, and even cancer.
