Controlling Ethylene level preserves freshness!

Control Excess Ethylene with Bry-Air BES and stop Spoilage of Fruits and Vegetables

Ethylene gas (C₂H₄) is an odourless, colourless gas that exists in nature and is triggered at maturity in climacteric fruits. Ethylene is also known as the ‘death or ripening hormone’ and plays a regulatory role in many processes of plant growth and development.

Being a gas, Ethylene can permeate through barriers like corrugated cardboard, plastic containers and natural barriers: cell walls, plasma walls, etc. When Ethylene comes in contact with the Ethylene receptors, a reaction on the genetic level start, depending upon which stage of the life cycle the fruit is in.

Bad effects of Ethylene on various fruits and vegetables

Fruits	Effect of Ethylene on fruits	Vegetables	Effect of Ethylene on vegetables	Advantages of Ethylene Control
Apples	Scald	Potatoes	Sprouting	Extends life cycle of the fruit/ vegetable after plucking
Grapes	Mold	Onions/ Garlic	Odor	Extends life cycle of the fruit/ vegetable after plucking
Bananas	Decay	Carrots	Bitterness	Warehouse owners can easily preserve freshness and reduce spoilage of fruits and vegetables
Apricots	Decay	Green leafy vegetables	Loss of color
Pears	Browning	Lettuce	Darkens and turns slimy	They are able to meet increasing demands of non-seasonal fruits and vegetables
Passion Fruit	Shriveling and weight loss	Cabbage	Leaf abscission
Cherimoya	Rapid softening	Cabbage	Leaf abscission

Solution

Ethylene removal is a natural process that does not affect the property of fruit or vegetable. Ethylene, that is released naturally can be continuously removed by Bry-Air Ethylene Scrubber (BES) through the process of adsorption and chemisorption.

Bry-Air Ethylene Scrubber (BES) extends shelf life of fruits and vegetables, minimizes loss due to decay, ensures off season availability and eliminates harmful preservation practices that use Nitrogen and Sulphur gas. Fruits and vegetables, thus retain their naturalness and can be ripened as per demand without bearing traces of toxic gases.

When moisture is Torture!

In this column, we share with you regularly our experience in major application areas where usage of dehumidification is both extensive and essential.

Increase Productivity up to 30% without Increasing Capacity

Spray Dryer

Spray Dryers require large quantities of hot air for drying. The quality of the final product is affected by the quality of inlet air entering the dryer.

The Spray Dryer mixes heated air with an atomized (sprayed) liquid stream within a vessel (drying chamber) which leads to evaporation and produces free-flowing dry powder with a controlled average particle size. Thus, the inlet air has to be dry, free of contamination, foreign particles and odourless. However, since the ambient changes throughout 24 hours, 365 days a year, the humidity present in the air, entering the Spray Dryer is not constant.

Uncontrolled humidity results in:

Increased drying cycle time
Inconsistent powder quality
Variation in throughput
Higher downtime due to sticking of material on Spray Dryer walls

Bry-Air Solution

Bry-Air has specially developed high performance dehumidifiers for supplying precisely controlled, stable and consistent dehumidified air to the inlet of Spray Dryers. Providing stable and consistent inlet air enables higher performance and output from Spray Dryers and improves the quality of powder.

It reduces dependence on operator for a constant adjustment of parameters on account of varying outside environment. It also reduces energy bills of heater for heating the inlet air upto the required temperature. Dehumidifying the inlet air also increases its temperature, as a result of which the heater has to do less work to heat the air to the required temperature.

Some typical Spray Dryer applications:

Food
Coffee, Spice, Milk Powder, Fruits, Vegetables, Herbal Food, Tea & Eggs
Industrial
Ceramic Material, Paint Pigments, Chemicals etc.
Pharmaceutical
Antibiotics, Encapsulation, Enzymes, Vitamins, etc.

Benefits of Inlet Air Dehumidification

Stable & consistent drying conditions throughout the year with no effect of outside conditions
Reduced dependence on operator for constant monitoring and parameter adjustment
Increased efficiency and throughout–up to 30% in some cases
Improved rate of solution by avoidence of the lumping caused by fine particles

Bry-Air supports play on “Ali Baba Aur Chaalis Chor” performed by Bry-Air Pathshala children

The timeless Arabian folk tale “Ali Baba Aur Chaalis Chor” was staged on 5th of May 2013 at EPICENTRE GURGAON by the children of Literacy India and Bry-Air Pathshala. The program was inaugurated with a welcome speech by Mr. Shrivardhan Trivedi & Doliram. Mr. Trivedi, an NSD expert, is a renowned TV anchor in Sansani (ABP News).

The show was a mixture of humor, love and affection, victory along with anger, terror, fear and greed. The children played an excellent role and improvised their characters efficiently. The technical parts of play–light, sound and music synchronization strongly supported the success of the production. After the Show, Literacy India felicitated Mrs. Anandita Pahwa, Head-CSR Initiatives and Ms. Sonali Dutta-VP, Corporate affairs from Bry-Air for their consistent support to Bry-Air Pathshala and Literacy India with a Certificate of Appreciation.
