Ethylene Absorbers
Products that actively absorb or eliminate ethylene gas, the natural ripening hormone released by fruits and vegetables. By removing ethylene from the storage environment, these products slow down the ripening process and extend the freshness of produce.
Ethylene absorbers are particularly useful when storing ethylene-producing fruits (like apples and bananas) near ethylene-sensitive vegetables (like leafy greens). They come in various forms including packets, sheets, pouches, and devices.
