Among the damaging effects of ethylene are:

 · acceleration of senescence, ripening, softening, and discoloration (including but not limited to apples, pears, bananas, avocados, kiwi, apricots, peaches, nectarines)

· russet spotting (lettuce), yellowing (broccoli and greens), bitterness (carrots and parsnips), sprouting (potatoes), and toughness (asparagus)

· abscission (floral)

 

Removing ethylene from fresh produce storage areas has been shown to:  

  • Significantly increase the value of fresh produce at its destination.
  • Significantly decrease postharvest losses.
  • Significantly increase shelf life of fresh fruit, vegetables and floral.
