Ethylene management is one of our applications which plays a key role in reduction of food waste. Fruit produces ethylene, an important ripening hormone. Ethylene stimulates the ripening process and has a two-part action. It stimulates extra ethylene production (snowball effect) and it enhances the produce sensitivity to ethylene. Control of the ethylene content therefore ensures that your precious produce can be stored for longer.
Our ethylene management solutions are suitable for a large range of fresh produce, such as apple, avocado, kiwi, peach, plum, tomato, cabbage, lettuce, broccoli, as well as plants and flowers. Click here for all commodoties.
There are several benefits to using ethylene-managed cold rooms. For one, they can reduce post-harvest losses and waste, which can help improve the profitability of growers and suppliers. In addition, it maintains product quality, which can lead to higher market prices and greater customer satisfaction. Furthermore, by extending the shelf life of produce, ethylene-managed cold rooms can also reduce the need for frequent shipments and restocking, which can lower transportation costs and reduce the carbon footprint of the supply chain.
