Verlängerung der Haltbarkeit von Obst und Gemüse durch Zink-Nanopartik Buchkatalog

Ethylene gas is the plant growth regulator that increases the softening and ripening of fruits and vegetables during storage and transportation. There is a need to control the rapid ripening of these things by controlling the ethylene gas produced by fruits and vegetables. Among the methods practiced to control ethylene, adsorption has proven to be an economical and effective method. In the present research work, different adsorption materials namely activated carbon, H-ZSM-5 zeolite and green synthesized ZnO nanoparticles, are used for the study. A new methodology was developed by storing fruits and vegetables in vented PET boxes and suspending all selected adsorbents of known weight above the fruits and vegetables.
