The Ethelyn gas is produced by the fruits. If you keep your fruits in the refrigerator the Ethelyn gas will stay inside the fruit and will not be able to come out because it is hard for it yo expand so if you keep your fruits outside the refrigerator then your fruits will last longer.

Yes, packaging can affect the ripening of fruit. One way is by trapping the ethylene gas produced by the fruit, causing rapid ripening.
How is auxin different from gibberellins and ethylene in terms of function?
Auxins are different from gibberellins and ethylene in terms of fruit ripening functions. Giberellins and Ethylene promote fruit ripening while Auxin slows down fruit ripening.
Are tomatoes ripening created by ethylene or bacteria?
Ethylene promotes fruit (including tomatoes) ripening.
What are the uses of ethylene?
Fruit ripening.
How does ethylene gas accelerate the ripening of a banana?
Ethylene gas is a plant hormone that triggers fruit ripening in many plants. The plants start producing ethylene themselves to synchronize ripening of all the fruit on the tree at the same time. Humans use ethylene gas to allow them to pick unripe fruit (which will survive better in transportation over long distances than ripe fruit could) and trigger ripening at the destination shortly before selling the fruit to the public.
How does packaging affect the ripen of fruit?
It doesnt have any sunlight, fruit needs sunlight to ripen. Actually, not all fruit needs sunlight to ripen. One way packaging can affect the ripening of fruit is by trapping the ethylene gas produced by the fruit, causing rapid ripening.
Do all ripening fruit release ethylene gas?
no, but most do.
The fruit ripening process releases large quantities of what?
ethylene
What is the source of ethylene gas in a plant?
a side effect of fruit ripening
Does fruit ripen faster if placed in bag?
Ripening fruit in bagsYes. It can help to hasten the ripening process of some fruit if you place them in a paper bag. Ripening fruit release ethylene gas, and exposure to ethylene has been shown to hasten ripening, so placing the fruit in a closed bag traps the ethylene and facilitates ripening. This only works for fruit that ripen after being harvested. Apples, pears, peaches, plums, and bananas, to name a few, will benefit from being placed in a bag. Citrus fruit -- oranges, lemons, grapefruits -- will not ripen after they're picked.
How does ethylene gas afect fruit?
if the fruit is climacteric it will speed up the ripening process.
How does Mango ripens by keeping it in a rice tin?
Ripening fruit generates Ethylene gas. If this gas is trapped around a ripening fruit in sealed bag or container it accelerates the ripening process.
