Fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers begin a natural aging process as soon as they are harvested. While proper temperature control and handling practices help maintain quality, another factor plays a significant role in determining shelf life: ethylene gas. Managing this naturally occurring plant hormone has become a priority for growers, exporters, distributors, and retailers worldwide. This is where modern Ethylene Absorbing technologies provide substant ial value. Role of Ethylene Gas Ethylene gas is a naturally produced plant hormone that regulates ripening, flowering, and aging processes. Many fruits and vegetables continue producing ethylene after harvest. While this is a normal biological function, excessive ethylene accumulation during storage and transportation can accelerate ripening and lead to premature spoilage. Products such as bananas, avocados, mangoes, tomatoes, apples, pears, and many flower varieties are particularly sensitive to ethylene exposure. Even small...
