Which fruit produces the most ethylene?


Open in App
Solution

Ethylene:

  1. Some fruits and vegetables release ethylene, which is a gas.
  2. They ripen faster as a result of their release. Throughout their lives, all fruits produce a certain amount of ethylene.
  3. When the fruit ripens, the level of ethylene rises dramatically.
  4. Fruits may be divided into two types based on how they react to ethylene as they mature: climacteric fruits and non-climacteric fruits.
  5. During ripening, climacteric fruits produce a burst of ethylene, but non-climacteric fruits do not produce more ethylene.

List of food that produces ethylene:

  1. Bananas
  2. Apples
  3. Pears
  4. Peaches
  5. Plums
  6. Apricots
  7. Kiwis
  8. Avocados
  9. Mangoes
  10. Watermelons
