All fruits and vegetables release a gas known as ethylene. This occurs during the ripening process and accelerates as the product gets to the break point. The break point or "breaking" can best be described as the point where the fruit or vegetable is no longer ripening, but starting to decay. The age-old adage of "one bad apple spoils the peck" is in fact true. The increase in ethylene in the air will encourage other fruits and vegetables to start this process and accelerate the process in the vicinity.
The ethylene is the key, along with temperature, humidity and Co2. While your refrigeration controls the temperature and humidity, and scrubbers control the Co2, they cannot control the ethylene. That is why AgraCo Technologies has produced the Extend-A-Life ethylene filters and Produce Saver sachet. Extend-A-Life ethylene filters provide larger scale ethylene protection with ethylene filters and filtration systems for restaurants, industrial sized coolers, cold rooms, and refrigerated transports.
To provide serious reduction of ethylene amongst your fruits and vegetables during shipping or display, place the small Produce Saver sachet in a shipper box, crisper drawer or in a refer display. This reduction in ethylene can extend the life of your produce 2-4 times, giving you more time to display, ship, or sell your produce and reduces the amount of rotten fruits and vegetables. This in turn saves you money by reducing waste. On top of all that, Produce Saver also reduces odors from your refrigerator or cooler.
We are happy to provide consultation in meeting your ethylene removal needs.
