When tunneling events induced by nontrivial configurations of the quantum chromodynamics gauge fields are taken into consideration, parity violating quantities emerge. Based on this consideration, parity-odd fragmentation functions can be introduced in the high energy reactions. In this paper, we calculate the differential cross-section in terms of both the parity-even and parity-odd fragmentation functions in semi-inclusive electron positron annihilation process. Semi-inclusive implies that not only a vector meson in one jet but also the back-to-back jet is measured in this reaction. According to the differential cross-section, we further calculate the azimuthal asymmetries and hadron polarizations in terms of fragmentation functions. A method of measuring the parity violating effects in the semi-inclusive annihilation process is suggested.
