Why we need Ethylene Absorbers for preserving Fruits, Flowers and Vegetables?
An odorless and colorless gas, Ethylene exists naturally and can also be created by man-made sources and activities. It is a hormone that has several effects on the growth, development and storage life of many fruits, vegetables and ornamental crops.
Ethylene on one side is used for ripening and color build-up of many fresh fruits and vegetables. However, exposing perishable products to the deadly Ethylene can accelerate senescence, enhance excessive softening of fruits, stimulate chlorophyll loss, promote discoloration, promote abscission of leaves and flowers etc.
Therefore a protective covering of ethylene absorbers is necessary to protect AGRI products from the adverse effects of Ethylene. Freppe速, Ethylene Removal Solutions are made from naturally occurring Zeolites which absorb unwanted Ethylene gas from the AGRI products through oxidation process. They have several other advantages like they eliminate decay, mold, discoloration, wilting, softening, scald, loss of crunch and many other negative effects caused by ethylene gas.
