ETHYSAFE – Ethylene Absorber

ETHYSAFE Ethylene Absorber

ETHYSAFE is an ethylene absorbent that delays the ripening and spoilage of fruits and vegetables after harvest, especially designed for long-term shipments. By absorbing ethylene gas, this product keeps fruits and vegetables fresh and intact for longer. ETHYSAFE prevents the growth of bacteria, fungi and mould, increasing the vitality and safety of products.

ETHYSAFE is an ethylene absorbent product designed especially for long-term shipments, which delays the ripening and deterioration of fruits and vegetables after harvest. By absorbing ethylene gas, this product keeps fruits and vegetables fresh and intact for longer. ETHYSAFE prevents the growth of bacteria, fungi and mould, increasing the vitality and safety of products.

ETHYSAFE is very simple to use. The required number of ETHYSAFE bags are placed in conventional corrugated boxes or export packaging for fruit and vegetables. To reduce the negative effects of ethylene gas on the products, the pads are placed directly out of the outer gelatine packaging and into crates, boxes or packs filled with products. The effectiveness of ETHYSAFE can be adjusted depending on the type of fresh product and the amount of ethylene produced, so its use is flexible.

WHY USE IT?

Long-term Freshness Preservation: ETHYSAFE absorbs ethylene gas, keeping fruit and vegetables fresher for longer. This is especially important during long-distance transport and storage.

Spoilage Prevention: Ethylene gas causes fruit and vegetables to ripen, spoil and rot quickly. ETHYSAFE prevents spoilage and rotting by absorbing this gas.

Quality Protection: Quality characteristics of produce such as texture, colour and flavour can deteriorate rapidly under the influence of ethylene gas. ETHYSAFE protects quality by reducing these effects.

Protection Against Microorganisms: ETHYSAFE prevents the growth of harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and moulds, thus contributing to keeping products healthy.

Economic Benefit: The use of ETHYSAFE provides economic benefits by reducing product loss and maintaining quality. Less product loss means more profit.

Compliance with International Standards: ETHYSAFE has been tested and certified by internationally accredited laboratories, providing a reliable solution in international trade.

Flexible Use: It can be easily adapted for different types of fruit and vegetables and is simple to use. This makes it an ideal solution for a variety of products.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Ethylene Gas Absorption: ETHYSAFE products contain substances that effectively absorb ethylene gas. Ethylene is a gas that fruits and vegetables naturally produce during the ripening and spoilage process. ETHYSAFE absorbs this gas from the environment, allowing products to ripen and spoil more slowly.

Chemical Reaction: Ethylene gas enters into a chemical reaction with the substances in ETHYSAFE. As a result of this reaction, ethylene gas is bound and neutralised. This process reduces the ethylene concentration around fruits and vegetables.

Prevention of Microbial Growth: ETHYSAFE also has properties that inhibit the growth of harmful microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi and mould on the surface of fruits and vegetables. In this way, the products remain healthy for longer.

Humidity Control: Some ETHYSAFE products can also help protect fruit and vegetables from dehydration by controlling humidity. This is especially important during long-term transport.

No Direct Contact Required: ETHYSAFE pads or packs can work without direct contact with fruit and vegetables. This allows products to be conveniently placed in the box or container and effectively protected.
