The 'Science' of food going bad?

I am very interested in what happens to food as it goes bad. Fresh meat, fruits and vegetables to be more specific. Does any know what is going on there? What gas is given off as the food breaks down? What causes the smell? What is actually happening to the food itself?

If you have any real knowledge about this… please help. I am all ears.
