Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Iodine solution binds to starch, but not to sugar, forming a dark-colored complex. You can estimate how ripe a fruit is by whether or not it is darkened after painting it with an iodine solution. The unripe fruit is starchy, so it will be dark. The riper the fruit is, the more starch will have been converted to sugar.
Detailed explanation-2: -Some of the primary culprits are air, moisture, light, temperature, and microbial growth. Most fruits and vegetables spoil easily because of damage caused by microorganisms. Microorganisms such as bacteria, yeast and molds need water and nutrients for growth, energy and reproduction.
