Fruits rot quickly because they’re cut off from their food supply when picked, and their natural breakdown process begins. Here are some reasons why:

Enzymes break down the fruit’s cells faster when it’s ripe or injured.

Oxygen helps enzymes work faster.

Moisture creates a breeding ground for microorganisms that feed on the fruit’s sugars.

Warmer temperatures speed up the ripening process.
