Why Use Ethylene Absorbers?
Ethylene is a natural plant hormone (a gas) that speeds up the ripening and aging process in fruits, vegetables, and flowers. While it helps in controlled ripening, excess ethylene in packaging or storage environments can cause products to:
• Ripen too quickly
• Spoil prematurely
• Lose firmness, color, and freshness
• Develop off-flavors or odors
Ethylene absorbers help by:
• Extending shelf life of fresh produce and flowers
• Reducing food waste during storage and transportation
• Maintaining quality and freshness
• Allowing for longer shipping distances or storage periods
