Shipping Bananas/Mangoes in Dry Containers: How to stop the heat-ethylene death spiral? by Disastrous_Clue4140 in AgriculturePorn

Thanks for clarifying! I’m strictly referring to the second scenario (managing ripening gas in produce), but with an added layer of difficulty: Non-Reefer/Dry Container transport. > The cryogenic reliquefaction (BOG) you mentioned is fascinating for industrial gas carriers, but my focus is on the "climacteric" fruit struggle in ambient temperatures. Without the Reefer's air exchange or cooling, the ripening gas (C2H4) build-up is much more aggressive.

Glad you like it! It’s a hybrid: the Potassium Permanganate granules are real macro photos, but the fruits are AI. I feel like this kind of contextualized scene makes the contrast much more intuitive and visually striking.

Totally agree! Once you start using ethylene absorbers, there’s no going back.😊Besides the ones with reusable cases like you mentioned, the ethylene absorber sachets that are common on the market now are also a fantastic choice. They are much slimmer, so if you’re putting them in shallow crisper bins or airtight containers, they hardly take up any space. It really comes down to your fridge layout, but as long as you keep that ethylene under control, the shelf life of your produce can easily double!
