Fruits go through various stages as they mature.
Maturation is the action and result of maturing . This verb, in turn, allows us to name the act of seasoning fruits or the fact of achieving full physical and mental development .
With etymological origin in the Latin maturatĭo ( "acceleration" ), the concept of maturation also implies a consideration of an undertaking or idea , according to what is explained by the Royal Spanish Academy (RAE) .
For example: "These pears still lack ripening" , "We spent several weeks thinking about the maturation of the project, but in the end it did not prosper" , "Maturation is a process that begins in childhood and extends until adulthood" .
Fruit ripening
The most common use of the notion of ripening is linked to certain changes experienced in fruits. In this process, chlorophyll and pectin are degraded, while anthocyanins and carotenes appear. With these changes, the starch present in the fruit is transformed into sugar , the acidity is reduced and the astringency is lost.
Experts say that the essential element of ripening is a chemical compound called ethylene , which arises before the start of the process.
It is common for the fruit to be consumed fresh since it is very difficult to store it and keep it in good condition for a long time. Certain species, directly, decompose so quickly that they are not kept fresh.
The maturation process of a human being begins in childhood and extends until reaching adulthood.
The concept applied to the human being
However, we cannot ignore the fact that the concept in question is also fundamental in the field of human beings as it refers to a stage in which they undergo and experience a series of growths on a physical level that in turn It brings with it the acquisition of a set of skills and behaviors. From the time he is a child until he reaches adulthood, this maturation process takes place.
Learning and the environment in which one grows and moves are some of the factors that act as basic pillars of this aforementioned maturation, which results in the person in question developing at a physical, social , emotional and cognitive level.
Average ripening period
On the other hand, the temporary period that begins when someone invests in a company and ends when liquidity recovery occurs through a sale and collection operation is known as the average maturity period .
Within this process we have to establish that it is made up of a total of five different stages that mark its advances and progress. Specifically, it is made up of the raw materials storage phase, the manufacturing phase, the sale of finished products, the collection phase from customers, and the payment phase to suppliers.
These are the periods that mark the life of a company that, specifically, is dedicated to producing a certain product that it then sells on the market to meet the needs of a certain part of the population. However, those five are reduced to three when we refer to a commercial company. In this specific case, it would go through the maturation period of selling merchandise, collecting payments from customers and finally paying suppliers.
