Why are bruised spots on fruit sweeter than the rest of it?
gpt
Bruising on fruits occurs because parts of the fruit cells' cell wall are ruptured, releasing the enzymes. This causes accelerated ripening, a process that involves breaking down enzymes, but more importantly, hydrolyzes storage polysaccharides. Those polysaccharides convert to smaller sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose) which have a sweeter taste than the originals.
