Ethylene Absorber Curtain

After being harvested, fresh fruits, vegetables, and flowers release ethylene gas, also known as the ripening hormone, which reduces their shelf life until they reach the market. Ethylene can cause wrinkling, wilting, mold, rotting, brown spots, softening, off-odors, sprouting, color changes, bitter taste in carrots, and damage to citrus peels. To control this process, ethylene-absorbing curtains are used in cold storage rooms and containers for transporting fruits and vegetables.

Ethylene-absorbing curtains are mainly used in cold storage rooms and containers for transporting fruits and vegetables. Long-distance transportation can cause an excessive accumulation of ethylene gas inside the container, which accelerates the ripening process of fruits and vegetables at an alarming rate. Ethylene gas and airborne microbes are converted into carbon dioxide and water in the nanometer channels of these products. As a result, the purified air free of ethylene gas and microbes is returned to the environment.
