Ethylene Absorbers
The use of Ethylene Absorbers packets during post-harvest handling of fruit, vegetables, and floral products, during storage and ripening, and during shipment by truck or sea container can effectively reduce ethylene concentrations and maintain product quality and shelf-life.
Even small amounts of ethylene gas during shipping and storage causes fresh produce to deteriorate faster .
A Single Propane - powered forklift can cause serious damage in highly ethylene gas - sensitive commodities.
Uncontrolled, ethylene can destroy an entire shipment in a single day.
Even trace levels can cause measurable damage in both fresh produce and floral products.
The Effects of ethylene gas damage is common to us all:
Shrinkage of fresh Produce and flower bulbs
Spotting of leafy vegetables and eggplants
Yellowing of cucumbers; Broccoli and Brussel sprouts
Increase odor and sprouting of garlic and onions
Wilting of vegetables and cut flowers
Scald and loss of crunch in apples and
Rind breakdown in citrus fruit
Controlling ethylene levels preserves freshness.
