Ethylene as a Ripening Agent
Ethylene is a natural plant hormone widely used as a ripening agent for fruits such as bananas, apples, mangoes, apricots, plums, avocados, and tomatoes. These fruits naturally emit ethylene gas as they ripen.
Exposing fruits to additional ethylene accelerates their ripening. Common methods include sealed ripening rooms or ethylene gas generators that release the gas into controlled environments.
