BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - Why do Cherries Burst When it Rains?
LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- The whole point of the skin of a cherry is to keep that from bursting.
The smooth, slippery envelope protects the fruit from falling prey to
funguses or microbes, and water usually just slides right off of one. But the
rainstorms feared by fruit-growers are a different matter. In entertaining
episodes our Chemical Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners on
Chemistry in our everyday life.
