At O&J Enterprise, we use ethylene ripening as an effective and efficient technique for ripening mangoes in a controlled and monitored environment. This process ensures that the mangoes ripen uniformly and are of the highest quality, which can benefit customers by providing them with fresh, high-quality mangoes that are ready to be consumed in its finest forms.
Ethylene ripening is a widely used technique for ripening mangoes in a controlled and efficient manner. The process involves the controlled exposure of the unripe mangoes to ethylene gas to trigger the natural ripening process. The following is a process of how mangoes are ripened using ethylene gas:
Harvesting
The first step in the ethylene ripening process is the harvesting of the mangoes. Mangoes are typically harvested when they are mature but still unripe to ensure that they can withstand the rigors of transportation and handling.
Cleaning
The mangoes are then thoroughly cleaned to remove any dirt or debris that may have accumulated during harvesting.
Sorting
The mangoes are then sorted according to their size, shape, and maturity level to ensure uniformity during the ripening process.
Packing
The sorted mangoes are then packed into specially designed ripening chambers or rooms that are airtight and sealed to prevent the escape of the ethylene gas.
Ethylene application
The mangoes are then exposed to ethylene gas, which triggers the natural ripening process. The ethylene gas is typically applied in a controlled and monitored environment to ensure that the mangoes ripen uniformly and do not become overripe or spoiled.
Monitoring
The mangoes are then closely monitored throughout the ripening process to ensure that they are ripening uniformly and that the ripening process is not compromised by any external factors such as temperature, humidity, or air circulation.
Quality control
Once the mangoes have reached the desired level of ripeness, they are carefully inspected and graded for quality to ensure that they meet the required standards.
Packaging
The ripened mangoes are then carefully packaged in specialized packaging materials that are designed to protect the fruit during transportation and handling.
