The plant hormone ethylene, which regulates growth and development, can lead to the overripening of fruits and vegetables. Ethylene from plants as well as from sources such as engine exhaust, therefore, is closely controlled in greenhouses, in packing plants and in distribution centers. Gas chromatography has been the typical method for the detection of ethylene concentration. Various fruits and vegetables vary in ethylene sensitivity, and the standard for ethylene detection has been less than 1 part per million. However, some fruits, such as kiwi, are damaged at much lower levels, said...Read full article
