How can fruits be ripened artificially? Write methods and processes for it.

Question

Accepted Answer

Fruits like mango and banana can be ripened artificially using ripening agents such as calcium carbide, ethylene gas, and ethephon, which are placed with the fruits (e.g. in a sachet) to speed up the natural ripening process. Traditional methods include wrapping fruits in jute sacs, using Asuro leaves, or burying them in soil-covered pits.
