Ethylene Gas
Ethylene is a natural plant hormone that is odourless and colourless. This hormone affects the development of plants, vegetables and fruits. It is important for growth, but too much ethylene causes damage. A surplus leads to overripe fruits and vegetables that are no longer marketable.
During transport, the boxes are placed very close together. The ventilation holes are thus closed and the ethylene gas accumulates in the box. This is at the expense of quality. The chances of discoloration and ripening are greatly increased.
