Reducing Waste and Preserving Freshness Through Ethylene Absorbing Technology.
In the fresh produce industry, maintaining quality and extending shelf life are top priorities for growers, distributors, retailers, and exporters. One of the biggest challenges in preserving fresh fruits and vegetables is controlling Ethylene Gas , a natural plant hormone that accelerates ripening and leads to premature spoilage when allowed to build up in storage or transit environments. BioXTEND offers advanced ethylene absorbing solutions that help slow down ripening, reduce waste, improve produce freshness, and boost supply chain performance. Why Ethylene Gas Matters in Fresh Produce Ethylene gas is released by fruits and vegetables as part of their natural maturation process. While this process is essential for developing flavour and texture, excessive ethylene levels can trigger faster ripening across all produce stored nearby. In open air, ethylene disperses harmlessly; however, in enclosed environments such as refrigerated containers, cold storage rooms or display shelves,...
