ETHYLENE ABSORBENTS
Absorbers | Ethylene absorbents
The ethylene absorbents allows to extend the shelf life of fruits, vegetables and flowers by absorbing the ethylene released by the products.
In Sercalia we offer different types of ethylene absorbers that cover different needs. Below you can see the types of ethylene absorbents.
We offer you ethylene absorbents in different formats (absorbent bags, anti-ethylene filters, pads, sheets for domestic use and environmental control systems).
Anti-ethylene bag
Ethylene absorbent bags are used to remove ethylene and other Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) from fruits, vegetables and vegetables. These bags wrap the absorbent product of ethylene with a paper authorized to be in contact with food..
Ethylene filter
Our ethylene filter for environmental air control allows your products to mature more slowly while in the warehouse or in transport. Eliminates ethylene gas from the environment as well as other volatile compounds..
Ethylene absorbent pad
The absorbent ethylene pads allow to extend the life of fresh fruits, vegetables, plants and flowers. Ethylene absorber is easy to handle, complies with European health regulations and has an excellent appearance. The Ethylene absorbent pad is very economical and it will help you to keep your fresh products for longer.
Household use sheet
The ethylene absorber sheet for domestic use allows to lengthen the shelf life of fruits and vegetables in your cupboard or refrigerator. The greenkeeper ethylene absorbent absorbs the ethylene gas, which is the hormone responsible for the maturation of vegetables, thus preventing its consumption time from being shortened.
Ethylene environmental control system
Our ethylene environmental control system reduces environmental pollution. Eliminates ethylene gas from the environment, delaying the speed of maturation of food and also reducing unwanted odors.
FAQs
How ethylene absorbers work and what you need to know to choose the right solution
What problems can ethylene cause in products and packaging?
Ethylene gas is a plant hormone that accelerates the ripening of fruit, vegetables and flowers. Its presence in packaging or enclosed spaces triggers rapid deterioration in the texture, flavour, weight or appearance of the product. Ethylene absorbers capture this gas and slow down degradation, reducing losses in fresh produce, storage and export.
What types of ethylene absorbents does Sercalia offer?
Sercalia offers a comprehensive range of ethylene absorbents adapted to different scenarios:
- Ethylene-blocking bags for fruit and vegetable crates.
- Ethylene filters for environmental control in warehouses or transport.

How do I choose the most suitable ethylene absorbent for my application?
The selection depends on the product category (fruit, vegetables, flowers), the size of the packaging or container, transport or storage conditions, and sensitivity to ethylene. For example, a shipping container with citrus fruits will need a high-capacity ethylene filter, while a local shipment of flowers may only require anti-ethylene bags. At Sercalia, we offer specialised technical advice to ensure that the solution meets your exact needs.
What is the difference between the various types of ethylene absorbents?
The differences lie in format, absorption capacity, and scope of use:
- Ethylene-absorbing bags: placed next to the product in boxes or on pallets.
- Environmental filters: designed to remove ethylene from the air in chambers, warehouses or during transport.
- Domestic pads/sheets: economical formats for smaller scales. The right choice guarantees ripeness control, waste reduction and extended shelf life.
What solutions does Sercalia offer for large volumes or long-distance transport?
For international logistics, export or storage chambers, Sercalia offers high-performance solutions: large-capacity Ethylene filters, modular environmental control systems and formats designed for long journeys. This prevents massive product deterioration and optimises the supply chain
Can I combine ethylene absorbents with other protection systems?
Yes. It is common to integrate ethylene absorbers with controlled atmosphere systems, vapour barriers, desiccants or barrier films for highly sensitive products. This combination reinforces active preservation and allows for a premium quality argument in fresh products.
In which sectors is the use of ethylene absorbents recommended?
Ethylene absorbers are particularly relevant for:
- Horticultural industry: fruit, vegetables and flowers.
- International transport and refrigerated containers.
- Precision farming and plant exports.
- Retail distribution of fast-moving fresh produce.
For each of these, Sercalia provides formats tailored to volume, conditions and logistical requirements.
Are ethylene absorbers safe for food use?
Yes. Most Sercalia products are approved for food contact, designed with safe, migration-free materials and comply with European regulations. They guarantee that food maintains its quality without compromising its safety.
How long does an ethylene absorber remain effective?
The duration varies depending on usage, product volume, ethylene concentration, container sealing, and transport or storage conditions. With a well-designed professional solution, it is possible to maintain ethylene control throughout the entire logistics cycle.
