BioXTEND: Extending Freshness Through Advanced Ethylene Control Technology.

Image
In the global produce industry, preserving freshness from harvest to consumption is one of the greatest challenges. Fruits and vegetables naturally release ethylene gas—a plant hormone responsible for ripening. While essential in nature, uncontrolled ethylene accumulation accelerates aging, softening, and spoilage during storage and transportation. BioXTEND, a leader in post-harvest preservation technology, addresses this challenge with innovative solutions, particularly its highly effective ethylene absorber products and versatile Absorbedor De Etileno sachet(s). These tools help growers, distributors, and retailers keep produce fresher, reduce waste, and maintain quality throughout the supply chain. Ethylene Control: Why It Matters Ethylene gas is produced internally by produce and externally through nearby fruits, mechanical stress, and transportation environments. Without proper control, even small amounts of ethylene can trigger premature ripening, color change, flavor loss, ...

How BioXTEND Leads the Produce Industry in Ethylene Gas Management.

Image
In the world of fresh produce, maintaining peak quality from harvest to consumption is a constant challenge. Fruits and vegetables naturally release Ethylene Gas , a plant hormone responsible for ripening. While ethylene is essential to the growth cycle in the field, it becomes a rapid accelerator of decay once produce enters storage, shipping, and retail environments. Managing this gas effectively can mean the difference between crisp, vibrant produce and wasted inventory. This is where BioXTEND excels. As a leader in post-harvest freshness technology, the company offers advanced ethylene filter(s) and gas-absorbing solutions that protect fruits, vegetables, and flowers across the entire supply chain. Their science-backed technologies are designed to slow ripening, extend shelf life, reduce shrink, and protect product quality—helping growers, distributors, and retailers save money while delivering fresher food. Understanding Ethylene Gas and Its Impact on Fresh Produce Ethylene ...

Ethylene Filters & Ethylene Absorbent Sachets – BioXTEND Solutions for Fresh-Produce Protection.

Image
At BioXTEND, we recognise that ethylene gas plays a key role in post-harvest spoilage: it accelerates ripening, increases decay and shortens shelf life. Our mission is to provide cost-efficient, user-friendly and eco-friendly solutions to control ethylene levels and thereby protect the value of your fresh produce supply chain. Ethylene Filters The BXT Filtro(S) De Etileno (models such as BXT100, BXT75) are designed for high-volume, large-scale applications: cold storage rooms, refrigerated containers, trailers and pallets. They’re cylindrical single-use filters packed with a proprietary blend of active media to remove ethylene, bacteria and mould from the storage/transport atmosphere. Key features: compatibility with organic produce (certified under NOP/EU), non-toxic, eco-friendly exhausted residue that can be discarded or used as organic fertiliser. Simple installation: the filter is placed in the air-return area of the coo...

Keeping Fruit Fresher in Transit: The Role of Ethylene Envelopes as Natural Preservers.

Image
If you want to transport fresh fruit over long distances it is important to balance between speed, temperature control, and natural ripening processes. To combat its effects, producers and exporters increasingly turn to innovative Conservantes De Fruta Para Transporte, especially SOBRE DE ETILENO, to protect fruit quality and minimize waste. The Challenge of Transporting Fresh Fruit Fruits are living organisms, even after harvest. They continue to metabolize, respire, and produce ethylene, a natural plant hormone responsible for ripening. In confined environments like shipping containers, trucks, or even packaging boxes, this ethylene gas builds up and accelerates the ripening process. Left uncontrolled, it can lead to softening, loss of color, over-ripening, and spoilage before the fruit even reaches its destination. What Are Ethylene Envelopes? Ethylene envelopes, also known as ethylene sachets or ethylene absorbers, are small, easy-to-use packets. These SOBRE DE ETILENO con...

BioXTEND: Leading The Way in Ethylene Absorbing Solutions For Fresh Produce.

Image
Fruits, veggies, and flowers travel far before we eat them. Keeping them fresh is a big challenge. Ethylene gas, a plant hormone, makes them ripen faster. Without control, ethylene causes spoilage and waste. It also lowers the quality of food. The BioXTEND Approach to Ethylene Absorption BioXTEND started in 2010 in Fort Myers, Florida. They aim to stop ethylene spoilage with green solutions. They're a global leader in ethylene control.BioXTEND's success comes from their Ethylene Absorbent tech. It uses oxidizing agents to remove ethylene. This slows down ripening and keeps food fresh longer. A Wide Range of Ethylene Absorbing Products BioXTEND has many products for different needs. Their ethylene-absorbing sachets are popular. They come in various sizes for different types of produce. Their BXT Shield is a flat filter for pallets. It's plastic-free and absorbs ethylene and pathogens. It's good for shipping produce. For big containers, BioXTEND has BXT100 and ...

Protecting Freshness in Transit: Ethylene Filters & Absorbents by BioXTEND

Image
Are you in the business of crisp apples or delicate avocados? If yes, you can understand that these produce continues to live and breathe long after harvesting. A natural byproduct of this living process is ethylene. It is a colorless, odorless gas. This accelerates ripening and aging. While essential in controlled ripening, unchecked ethylene in storage or transit can lead to spoilage, weight loss, and reduced quality. BioXTEND, a company rooted in post-harvest science, offers a range of products— Ethylene Filter(s) and ethylene absorbent sachets—designed to reduce ethylene levels and preserve freshness across the supply chain. Why Ethylene Control Matters Ethylene acts as a ripening hormone. In confined spaces such as containers or storage rooms, this gas spreads throughout the produce, hastening the aging process and creating economic losses. Symptoms of ethylene exposure include softening, yellowing, weight loss, and diminished flavor. Left uncontrolled, ethylene can cost the...

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...
