Ethylene is a plant hormone that can be produced in trees, plants, vegetables, fruits, flowers, and tulip bulbs. Several cultivated species of this type of plant are extremely sensitive to the presence of ethylene in the air. Ethylene is a stress hormone that can induce maturation. It can also cause irreversible damage to stored products. Monitoring of ethylene can provide information on the generation of ethylene. This type of information can help prevent unexpected increases in ethylene levels that exceed the toxicity level that plants can tolerate.
Most customers who use MACView high-precision plant ethylene analyzers say that the value of this instrument lies in the ability to see if there are any problems with the product and perceive the progress. You can see situations that have never been seen before, and link them to changes in product quality based on the occurrence. Ventilation or cleaning of ethylene is an important complementary coupling measure to prevent an increase in ethylene content. Ethylene can be measured once every 24 hours and can be controlled through an external computer. For example, in a fruit storage room, the ethylene content can be reduced by filtering and cleaning through a filter. This method can ensure the quality of fruits for a long time.
