Ethylene fast facts that can help you with ripening
Ethylene is a natural plant hormone that regulates the ripening and aging process of climacteric fruits such as bananas and avocados. When these fruits are placed in a room with a proper ethylene concentration, they experience increased respiration and changes in color, aroma and flavor. Some additional facts about ethylene include: - Ethylene allows the promotion of predicable ripening times and more uniform ripening?the result is better quality produce and a better consumer eating experience - Ethylene action becomes slower with a lower fruit temperature or elevated CO2 levels, so it is important to use correct procedures - The concentrations of ethylene present in ripening rooms are not toxic to humans - While extremely important and beneficial to ripening, ethylene will accelerate aging and decrease shelf life of other fresh produce, like leafy greens, broccoli and many others Using an ethylene generator In the early seventies, CATALYTIC GENERATORS knew there was a better way to apply ethylene. After extensive research and experimentation, the company vision became a reality. In 1973, the Catalytic Generator and Ethy-Gen® Ripening Concentrate were invented, patented, and introduced to the world. Suddenly fruit ripeners had a safe, easy method for applying ethylene. And now, Catalytic Generators are the only ones to receive certification by both UL® and TÜV. Only trust the original ? the company has been doing this for 50 years, and It makes ethylene application the easiest part of the ripening process. Its ethylene generator is easy to use. However, the specific instructions will vary depending on the size and factors such as: - The product you wish to ripen - Room size - How airtight the room is - Number of air exchanges per period Specially formulated liquid Ethy-Gen® II Concentrate When using the Ethyl-Gen® II Concentrate, the ethylene generators only make as much ethylene as needed and eliminate the need to store large quantities of gas on site.
