Keeping fruits, vegetables, and flowers fresh after harvest is not easy. BioXTEND is a company that helps solve this problem. They create smart products that slow down ripening. These products use an Absorbedor De Etileno , or ethylene absorber, to protect freshness during storage and transport. What Is Ethylene? Ethylene is a natural gas made by fruits and vegetables. It helps fruit ripen, but too much of it is harmful. When produce is stored in boxes or cold rooms, ethylene gas builds up. This causes fruit to ripen too fast, lose color, or even rot. Some common fruits that release a lot of ethylene include bananas, apples, pears, and avocados. Why We Need Ethylene Absorbers Ethylene is useful in small amounts. But in closed spaces like boxes or trucks, it becomes a problem. It speeds up spoilage. It causes mold and bad smells. It also leads to food waste. That’s why BioXTEND makes products that absorb ethylene. These are called absorbente de etileno or absorbedor de etile...

Why Choose BioXTEND® Ethylene Filters: A Sustainable Solution for Fresh Produce Preservation.

Image
  BioXTEND® offers innovative ethylene control solutions that are both effective and environmentally friendly. Ethylene (C₂H₄) is a natural gas that most fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers release as part of their ripening process. It has no smell or color but plays a major role in how fast produce ripens and ages. Besides being produced by plants, Ethylene Gas can also come from outside sources. It is commonly found in the air around us due to pollution—especially from vehicle exhaust, propane-powered forklifts, poorly vented greenhouse heaters, and industrial activity. While ripening fruits are known to release ethylene, it’s important to know that many other parts of the plant can also produce it. This includes healthy stems and leaves, cut or damaged plant parts, and even infected or decaying plant tissue. After harvest, fruits, vegetables, and flowers are still living and breathing. As they do, they continue to release ethylene, which can speed up ripening, cause wilti...

Ethylene Absorber & Ethylene Absorbent: BioXTEND – An Innovative Solution for Freshness That Lasts.

Image
Keeping fruits, vegetables, and flowers fresh during storage and transport is a big challenge for farmers, exporters, and sellers. Long trips and changing conditions can make produce spoil quickly. While refrigeration and careful handling play a major role, one invisible culprit often accelerates spoilage despite these efforts—ethylene gas. Ethylene is a natural plant hormone that regulates ripening. Although it’s essential for the natural maturation of produce, excess ethylene during storage or transport can lead to premature ripening, softening, and decay. This is especially problematic for climacteric fruits like bananas, apples, avocados, and tomatoes, which produce and respond to ethylene more actively. This is where Ethylene Absorber : a breakthrough solution comes in. This is designed to trap and neutralize this gas before it causes harm. These ethylene absorbents have become essential tools for the post-harvest industry, extending shelf life, preserving quality, and reducing fo...

How BioXTEND's Ethylene Sachets and Filters Make a Difference in Freshness and Waste Reduction.

Image
In the fresh produce industry, preserving quality and extending freshness is important. This also helps to reducing waste and improving profitability. Ethylene gas, a natural plant hormone, is one of the main culprits behind the premature ripening and spoilage of fruits, vegetables, and flowers. That’s where BioXTEND’s Ethylene sachet(s) and Ethylene filter(s)come into play. What Are Ethylene Filters and Sachets? ·      Ethylene Filters: These Ethylene filter(s) use materials like activated carbon or other absorptive substances to capture and remove ethylene gas from the environment. Ethylene filters are commonly used in refrigerated storage areas, transportation units, and retail spaces to keep ethylene-sensitive produce fresh.   ·        Ethylene Absorber Sachets: Ethylene sachet(s) are filled with compounds that absorb and neutralize ethylene gas. By placing the sachets in storage boxes, crates, or shipping containers, t...
