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.
