The most common reaction that causes spoilage isn't a reaction at all. Molds and Bacteria are attracted to the easily found presence of water in the fruit. They find a natural place to reproduce and what they do causes spoilage.

Very few sources talk about the chemical changes that take place. If you put fruit in a refrigerator it slows the spoiling process down. That means that the chemical reaction has to be endothermic (it requires heat to occur)

The process of spoilage is speeded up by bananas for example, giving up Ethylene gas. You do not want to put a banana with tomatoes, because tomatoes are very sensitive to Ethylene. (It's OK to eat them together. They make a terrific salad. Yum).

I cannot find a definitive source that connects all this together, but the conduct of the fruit in refrigerators confirms what I am saying.

Spoilage is a very complex reaction and interaction with the environment. I have given you a hint of what happens but you should search it out to convince yourself of the outcome.

What is the physical process whereby atoms or molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration or pressure to an area
34kurt

Diffusion is the physical process whereby atoms or molecules tend to move from an area of higher concentration or pressure to an area of lower concentration or pressure.

In the field of science, diffusion can be described as a process in which molecules move along the concentration gradient i,e from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration.

The process of diffusion is extremely useful in many everyday living conditions. For example, it is due to diffusion that carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged between the lungs and the blood. Diffusion of water, salts, and water is an important process that occurs in the kidneys.

We can divide diffusion into two main types which are simple diffusion and facilitated diffusion. Simple diffusion occurs without any carrier molecule. On the other hand, facilitated diffusion occurs with aid of a carrier molecule.
