How to use ethylene li Mango: Science ripening and industry dispute
In recent years, the technology of ethylene to ripen mangoes has sparked widespread discussion in the fruit industry. This article combines hot topics on the entire network for the past 10 days to systematically analyze the current application status of ethylene in the mango industry from the aspects of principles, methods, disputes and data comparison.
1. The principle of ethylene to ripen mangoes
Ethylene (2-chloroethylphosphonic acid) is a plant growth regulator that releases ethylene gas after decomposition, simulating the natural ripening process of fruits. Mangoes are usually ripe at 7-8 when picked. After ethylene treatment, they can accelerate the coloration of the peel and starch conversion, and shorten the market cycle.
| How to deal with it | Natural maturity | Ethylene ripens |
|---|---|---|
| Maturity time | 5-7 days | 2-3 days |
| Skin color | Even gradient | Possible color spots |
| Changes in sugar content | Slowly rising | Rapidly improve |
| Storage cycle | 7-10 days | 3-5 days |
2. Standardized operation process
According to the "NY/T 393-2020" standard of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the following parameters need to be strictly controlled:
| project | Technical requirements | Safe interval |
|---|---|---|
| Solution concentration | 500-800mg/kg | ≥7 days |
| Soaking time | 1-2 minutes | |
| Ambient temperature | 20-25℃ |
3. Recent hot topics
1.Food safety dispute: Douyin’s "Fruit Hunter Yang Xiaoyang" recent video pointed out that excessive use of ethylene may cause the mango stalk to turn black, but experts from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences said that the compliant residual amount is less than 0.05mg/kg (GB 2763 standard).
2.Industry unspoken rules are exposed: Weibo topic #Mango Ripening Agent Black Workshop# revealed that some merchants use industrial-grade ethylene, with a single-day reading volume of 120 million, triggering special inspections from the State Administration for Market Regulation.
3.Advances in alternative technologies: The latest "micro-pressure ethylene gas ripening system" developed by the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences has become a hot topic, and its energy consumption is reduced by 40% compared with traditional methods and has been piloted in five major production areas across the country.
4. Consumer identification guide
| feature | Natural maturity | Ripe mangoes |
|---|---|---|
| Fruit fragrance | Strong and lasting | Lighter fragrance |
| Fruit | Flat and shrink | Probable |
| pulp | Fine fiber | Or there are coarse fibers |
| Sugar Heart | Even distribution | Possible clumps |
5. Industry development trends
The 2023 Mango Industry Report shows that major production areas such as Guangxi and Hainan have been establishedRipeningFor traceability systems, 71% of leading enterprises switch to controlled release ethylene film technology. Experts suggest that consumers should choose products with a "commitment certificate of compliance", and the ethylene detection pass rate of such mangoes is 99.3%.
Conclusion:As a modern agricultural technology tool, vinyl is not a "fighting beast" itself. The key lies in standardized use and strict supervision. Consumers can buy it through formal channels and pay attention to the appearance characteristics of mangoes to enjoy safe and delicious tropical fruits.
