Yes, Oranges produce ethylene gas, which is a natural plant hormone involved in the ripening process. Ethylene helps regulate various physiological responses in the fruit, including the development of flavor, aroma, and color as it ripens. Additionally, ethylene is produced by other fruits and can influence the ripening of nearby fruits when they are stored together.

Is it okay to store apples and oranges together?
Yes, it is generally okay to store apples and oranges together as long as they are kept in a cool, dry place. However, be mindful that apples release ethylene gas which can cause oranges to ripen faster.
Why do oranges taste better when home-grown?
Possibly because they have not been picked when immature and artificially ripened with ethylene gas.
Is it safe to store apples and oranges together?
Yes, it is generally safe to store apples and oranges together as long as they are both fresh and not spoiled. However, it is important to keep in mind that apples release ethylene gas which can cause oranges to ripen faster.
How can I ripen oranges quickly and effectively?
To ripen oranges quickly and effectively, place them in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple. The ethylene gas released by the banana or apple will help speed up the ripening process of the oranges. Close the bag and leave it at room temperature for 1-2 days until the oranges are ripe and ready to eat.
What are the best ways to ripen unripe oranges quickly?
To ripen unripe oranges quickly, place them in a paper bag with a ripe banana or apple. The ethylene gas released by the banana or apple will help speed up the ripening process. Keep the bag at room temperature and check the oranges daily until they reach the desired ripeness.
How do rotten oranges become rotten?
If they're out in the open, the fruits release ethylene gas into the air. and since the fruit is exposed to the air, the ethylene gas ruins the fruit. if it is in a plastic container, then the ethylene gas makes the fruit go rotten even faster because the concentration of ethylene is so high in the container.
What color are oranges initially?
Oranges are initially green. And in some places they stay greenish yellow. Oranges only turn orange under two circumstances. The first is in colder climates (like the US), where the temperature kills the chlorophyll pigments and carotenoids shows through. Also, oranges in the US are often sprayed with Ethylene Gas, which also kills the chlorophyll and turns them orange. Many greenish yellow oranges taste exactly the same as orange ones, its just that the US consumer demands orange oranges. Whatever floats our boats eh?
What fruits spoil faster apples oranges or bananas?
Bananas spoil faster than both apples and oranges due to their higher ethylene gas production, which accelerates ripening. Apples and oranges have a longer shelf life, with apples being particularly durable when stored properly. Typically, bananas can become overripe within a few days, while apples can last weeks and oranges can last even longer under the right conditions.
What is the symbol of ethylene?

Is ethylene glycol conductive?
No, ethylene glycol is not conductive.
Do they Spray paint oranges befor they ship them?
Not anymore. Oranges only turn "orange" if the temperature is right. In some countries where the temperatures never cool off, oranges remain green, even when mature. It is the cool temperatures which promote the release of the orange pigments (carotenes). Before being sold in the U.S., green oranges used to be coated with an orange dye to make them more attractive to consumers. This practice is no longer acceptable by the FDA. To overcome this problem, oranges are now often treated with ethylene, which promotes the development of a uniformly "orange" appearance. This removes the chlorophyll layer and allows the orange color to emerge.
