Ethylene is a naturally occurring hormone produced by fruits and vegetables. It is essential in controlling many aspects of normal growth and development and is also the agent responsible for ripening fruits and vegetables. Increased in ethylene gas levels threatens the life cycle of post- harvest fruits and vegetables. By using Desiccare’s Ethylene Eliminator Pak, ethylene gas is removed and slows down the ripening process of fruits and vegetables,reducing food loss and spoilage. The Ethylene Eliminator Pak is recommended for post-harvest produce that is not going to be consumed right away. Learn more about Ethylene Eliminator Paks (PDF)
