ethylene gas is a gas that plants produce to help them grow and age faster
sometimes too much ethylene gas can result to over ripening (rotting)
to reduce over ripening, put your produce in a cold area such as the fridge because the cold slows down the production of ethylene gas
What else can I help you with?
What is ethylene scrubber?
An ethylene scrubber is a device used to remove ethylene gas from the air. Ethylene gas is given off by fruits, flowers, and plants as they ripen, and can cause premature ripening in nearby produce. The scrubber helps to prolong the freshness of fruits and vegetables by reducing ethylene levels in storage areas.
Do all plants produce Ethylene gas?
Almost all fruiting plants, it is the fruit ripening hormone.
What is the physical state of ethylene at room temp?
It is a gas at room temperature.
What the effect of ethylene?
Ethylene is a plant hormone that increases the speed of plant growth and ripening
What is the relationship between ethylene gas and senescence?
Ethylene act as a hormone of senescence for plants.
What is observed when ethylene gas is produced?
Ethylene gas causes produce to ripen. When ethylene gas is being produced you will notice the produce begin to ripen until it becomes overripe.
What is the source of ethylene gas in a plant?
a side effect of fruit ripening

Is polymer grade ethylene same as the polyethylene?
No, it's not the same thing. Ethylene is a gas used to produce polyethylene (solid). "Polymer grade" is just a purity label for ethylene gas, means that this ethylene is pure enough to be used in polyethylene (or other polymer) production.
Technically How Do Green Bags Work?
The green bags are made out of a material called zeolite. The zeolite has a porous microstructure that allows it to trap different kinds of molecules. In the case of most produce, ethylene gas is emitted and stays stagnant near the surface of the fruit or vegetable. The ethylene gas is what causes produce to wilt and rot. The zeolite in the green bags captures the ethylene gas with in its microstructure so it can't harm the produce. Eventually, the zeolite becomes saturated with the ethylene gas and renders it ineffective. Another concern with green bags is that the produce must be completely dry before being placed in the green bags. This is because water molecules can also be captured by the zeolite, reducing the amount of open sites to capture the ethylene gas.
Can gas apple produce?
yes it can the gas produced by a ripe apple can ripen another fruit such as pears,bananas,tomatoes,and mangoesand other kinds of fruit.scientist call this gas ethylene
How do bananas breathe?
Bananas do not breathe, nor live at all. But they produce carbon dioxide and ethylene gas when they are ripening.
What gas does rotting vegetables produce?
ethylene oxide, amylases, and proteases How does rotting fruit produce these gases? well,when fruits rot they decompose by givingb off gas. so they produce gases by decompostion. Bananns have the most gas
Do all plants produce Ethylene gas?
Almost all fruiting plants, it is the fruit ripening hormone.
What is the name of the gas used in gas sterilization?
Formaldehyde Ethylene oxide Betapropiolactone
Why do fruits placed inside a cabinet ripen faster than if placed inside a refrigerator?
All fruit produce ethylene gas as they ripen. Ethylene also makes fruit ripen in return. A fridge cools and contracts ethylene, while a cabinet does not (Boyles Law).
What is the physical state of ethylene at room temp?
It is a gas at room temperature.
