Why tropical fruits should not be placed in the refrigerator

Tropical fruits should not be placed in the refrigerator because they grow in tropical regions. Most of these fruits cannot adapt to the refrigerated environment and should not be refrigerated in the refrigerator. Otherwise, the tropical fruits will easily be frozen, affecting the taste of the fruit and normal consumption.

Putting tropical fruits in the refrigerator will cause them to freeze due to the inability to adapt to the environment, which will damage the cell membrane on the surface of the fruit, and the enzymes and dopamine substances inside the cells will penetrate out. These substances will accelerate the oxidation process of tropical fruits, causing them to deteriorate and turn black. At the same time, these substances will also accelerate the ripening process of tropical fruits, causing the fruits to over-mature and eventually rot.
