Only a small amount of ethylene can play a role in ripening, and excess ethylene will be released into the atmosphere and will not affect the body. Ripe fruits are as harmless to the body as naturally ripe fruits. In addition, ethylene is a plant hormone, which can only ripen fruits, but it is the hormones in the human body that affect human development. These two concepts are completely different. Harmless to human body. It is safe to eat.
Extended data:
Ripening hormone, also called ethylene. This is a chemical substance. Fully developed fruits, such as bananas, apples, oranges and pears, can synthesize ethylene and promote its maturity and coloring. However, other organs also release ethylene, which is a metabolite of healthy cells and can be produced in any part of life.
