Ethylene in Post-harvest Quality Management of Horticultural Crops: A Review
Abstract: Ethylene is a naturally occurring plant hormone that is produced by many fruits and vegetables. It initiates the ripening process when internal concentrations increase to 0.1 to 1.0 ppm. Externally applied ethylene can also initiate the ripening process in climacteric fruits. Ethylene is flammable at a concentration of 3.1–32% in air. The minimum flammable concentration of 3.1% or 31,000 ppm is about 200 times the concentration suggested for tomato ripening. …
