Ethylene levels were reduced 85+% within 12 hours

Ethylene is a naturally occurring small hydrocarbon gas, and the first-identified plant hormone known to regulate numerous processes in plant growth and response to biotic and abiotic stresses. Ethylene is best known for its effect on fruit-ripening, and thus has great agricultural importance. Premature ripening caused as a result of Ethylene will negatively influence the fruit’s texture and colour, and shorten the time cycle for processors to ship to market. 

A controlled test was performed to reduce the levels of Ethylene within a faculty, using PHI technology. This provided the packing house with more time to process and ship before spoilage. The test resulted in gas levels being reduced to 3.6 ppm in just 12 hours.
