Ethylene control for
healthy fruits and vegetables
Ethylene is a pungent smelling hormone that exists naturally and is responsible for ripening of fruits.
The importance of ethylene control
High concentrations of ethylene causes premature aging and rotting of fruits and vegetables and wilting of flowers and leafy vegetables-lowering their shelf life.
Conventional methods (adopted by most warehouses and cold stores) of lowering temperature and humidity and using gases like nitrogen and sulphur increase the shelf life but have several disadvantages.
It uses toxic gases It is dangerous for human health. It changes the natural properties of fruit as well.
Refrigeration and humidity control slows decay but is not enough to halt the production of ethylene gas in cold stores and ware houses. Even small amount of ethylene gas during storage is enough to hasten the process of decay of fresh produce. This makes ethylene control and removal absolutely necessary in the cold chain.

Ethylene removal is a natural process that does not affect the property of fruit. Ethylene that is released naturally-is continuously removed by EcoScrub through adsorption and chemisorptions Controlled levels of Ethylene increases the shelf life..
