Ethylene food smoking - Spotřebiče LORD.eu

Ethylene may be the reason why your vegetables and fruits are spoiling fast. This is a gas that, through its accumulation, causes the ripening of the fruit in question and of nearby fruits that are susceptible to this gas. However, it's not just ripening, after a short period of time the fruit can become overripe and spoil, making it inedible.

What is ethylene? Which fruits and vegetables are responsible for its heavy production and which fruits are sensitive to this gas? The answers to these questions can be found in this article. You will also learn, among other things, how to tackle the problem and what approach Lord is taking.

What is ethylene?

Just as humans have hormones that control the activities of various metabolic processes, plants produce their own hormones, called phytohormones, which control processes such as growth, development and responses to various external and internal stimuli. One of these plant hormones is ethylene, in other words ethen or ethylene.

Ethylene is a gas hormone that is responsible for such things as plant leaf drop, fruit ripening, and processes during plant aging. Stress or injury to the plant can also be a stimulus for ethylene production. The function of ethylene that will now be the primary focus of this article is fruit ripening.

Ethylene is a highly flammable gas with a sweetish aroma and taste. It can be narcotic to humans.

Fruit ripening with ethylene

Ethylene plays a key role in fruit ripening. When fruits begin to ripen, they produce greater amounts of ethylene, which can accelerate the ripening of other fruits in their vicinity. This gas acts as a signal molecule that triggers various biochemical processes in the fruit, including accelerating starch hydrolysis, the conversion of chloroplasts to chromoplasts, and the synthesis of other substances that affect the aromatic properties and colour of the fruit.

So if you want to achieve ripening of, for example, one type of fruit, give a piece of ripe fruit to that type. This ripe piece essentially passes the ethylene to the next piece, thus achieving faster ripening of the fruit. The Ethylene ripening principle is also often used in the food industry.

The process of ethylene ripening is particularly used in the storage and distribution of fruit and vegetables. For example, bananas are harvested while still unripe and are subsequently exposed to ethylene, which accelerates their ripening. Other fruits and vegetables are treated similarly. Thanks to this process, the fruit can be delivered to the shops when they are almost ripe, which allows their shelf life to be extended.

How is ethylene harmful?

In general, it can be argued that ethylene is harmful mainly to vegetables. The effects of ethylene on vegetables are negative. Some species may even be very sensitive to the gas. Yellowing of vegetables, increased susceptibility to low temperature damage, spread of rot. All of these adverse effects can devalue and spoil the fruit in question.

Excessive ethylene production can cause fruit overripe. It can also lead to reduced fruit shelf life, rotting and susceptibility to damage during handling and storage. Therefore, monitoring and controlling ethylene production during storage and distribution is crucial to maintain optimal fruit condition and maximise fruit shelf life.

What to avoid to prevent food spoilage?

Ethylene build-up can be prevented by ventilation. Some species are also helped by storage at low temperatures. The effects of ethylene are greatly reduced at temperatures below 5 °C.

However, each type of fruit and vegetable suits a different temperature. If you do not store fruit and vegetables at a temperature that suits the fruit, you expose them to the risk of premature deterioration, loss of flavour, etc. The table to the right shows suitable temperatures for several types of fruit and vegetables. The temperature data are based on values measured by the Ministry of Agriculture.

Ananas 10-11 °C Avocado 8-10 °C Bananas 13-14 °C Citrons 8-15 °C Liver 8-12 °C Mango 8-12 °C Cucumbers and courgettes 7-10 °C Papaya 7-10 °C Pomerangs 4-10 °C Tomatoes and peppers 8 °C or more

Storage of certain vegetables and fruits especially can also be a very good idea if among the various fruits and vegetables you have those that are characterized by high ethylene production. Examples of vegetables with high ethylene production include tomatoes, potatoes, asparagus. Fruits include apples, bananas, pears, avocados, mangoes, citrus fruits, plums and many others. These fruits and vegetables should not be stored together.

These species should also not be stored together with species that are sensitive to ethylene exposure. Foods that can spoil quickly due to ethylene exposure include spinach, corn, cabbage, lettuce, cauliflower, peppers, cucumbers, or broccoli, for example. Similar recommendations apply to herbs and mushrooms. You can prevent the spread of ethylene to other species by placing different ethylene-producing fruits and vegetables separately in sealable boxes.

So I saw this video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKFEbYdKdJg) about making ethylene gas. I did not find any other videos about making ethylene in any useful quantities. Here are my questions:

1. Is there any formula/chart to determine how big the tube/surface area of the aluminum oxide should be? (As it the minimum dimensions required to convert say, 100g/h of alcohol vapor into ethylene.)

2. Is the sulfuric acid + ethanol method better? Because if the sulfuric acid can be regenerated, it would be a much better way as it is a lot faster and just less hassle. Does anyone know the yields and the procedure for this method? Sorry, I couldn't find any except the one from the "War Gases" book, and the yields/reaction duration are not specified.

3. I can't seem to find much information on ethylene gas at all. Are there are books/patents/SM threads that I should read?

Thanks in advance, and any help would be appreciated charley

Not sure if this will work or not.

The YouTube video shows that to be a piece of 1” pipe, looks to be about 16 inches long or so. He didn’t give any dimensions other than the 1” pipe, so it doesn’t appear to be really critical. Try it, see what happens.

When I first started getting into chemistry I made a batch of ether. I 'winged it' and just added sulfuric till it felt fine. Ended up making tons of ethylene while would blow through my Graham condenser non-stop. No clue on how well it would work preparatively. What would you consider a useful quantity? Are you planning on using liquid nitrogen to liquefy it?
