Ethylene Gas Control in Cold Storages

Ethylene Gas Control in Cold Storage


Ethylene gas is a natural plant hormone that plays a crucial role in the post-harvest preservation of fruits and vegetables. However, if not properly controlled, this gas can degrade the quality of products stored in cold storage rooms and shorten their shelf life.

Ethylene control is essential in maintaining the quality of fruits and vegetables under cold storage conditions. Uncontrolled ethylene exposure can cause undesirable effects such as loss of green color in leafy vegetables due to chlorophyll breakdown, browning of grape stems, softening of watermelon flesh, bitterness in carrots, flavor loss in sweet potatoes, and spotting in lettuce.


Therefore, there is a need for devices that reduce ethylene synthesis and remove ethylene gas from the environment. The Frigoblock ethylene removal unit effectively filters accumulated ethylene gas in storage rooms, helping to maintain the freshness of products for a longer period.
