Papaya: Usually goes tasteless, but sometimes "funky"
Asian pears: texture becomes bad, tasteless
Watermelon: goes tasteless, sometimes "vitaminy" near the rhind
Melon: kinda hard to lump all melons together, but often goes tasteless or
a rising "vitaminy" flavor.

It seems that in the early days/months of instincto I got more "biting"
changes, but as time when on the changes were more of a loss of flavor
character, even for fruits like pineapple (granted, we're talking local
Thai pineapple, not the unripe ones in the USA). I still get biting stops,
but they are the minority...

Nothing to share about the rest, sorry...
