Ethylene is the natural plant hormone generated internally that governs the speed at which quality and freshness are lost. Keeping produce fresh is especially important during storage and transport because ethylene-rich environments can trigger the ripening process too quickly, which results in spoilage, loss and waste. AgroFresh pioneered numerous scientific and commercial applications of 1-MCP, which temporarily blocks the production and absorption of ethylene. Unlocking the secrets of freshness AgroFresh pioneered the first pre-commercial trials on apples, fine-tuned the product formulation and developed use recommendations and appropriate protocols adapted to each crop and each region. Today, thanks to numerous years of close cooperation with international researchers, universities and customers, we have extensive knowledge of fresh produce quality management.
