Fruit Ripening Gas

Ethylene is an agent in the fruit ripening process. Most of the fruits elute ethylene gas as they ripen and other are sensitive to it. The process of ripening is triggered and accelerated, if the atmosphere surrounding the raw fruit is injected with trace of ethylene gas. The process of fruit ripening with external ethylene injection does not affect the flavor and taste of the fruit.

The concentration of ethylene that is required to be maintained in the atmosphere during the soaking period is decided by the size of the room/chamber and the type of fruit. One canister shall result in a concentration of approx. 100 ppm of ethylene in a room/chamber of size 3M*4M*3M, with a volume of 36 cubic meter (36000 litrs)
