In fruit, the cell walls are mainly composed of polysaccharides including pectin. During ripening, a lot of the pectin is converted from a water-insoluble form to a soluble one by certain degrading enzymes. [11] These enzymes include polygalacturonase. [9] This means that the fruit will become less firm as the structure of the fruit is degraded.
In this autocatalytic system, the ethylene will promote its own biosynthesis and will make sure that the fruit will ripen evenly after the ripening begins.
