Ethylene Scavengers

Desiccare Food Life Extender® delivers the perfect ripeness at the perfect time.

Ethylene is a naturally occurring hormone produced responsible for ripening fruits and vegetables. Increased ethylene gas levels in the air threaten the life cycle of post-harvest fruits and vegetables—causing spoil, rot, and waste. Desiccare's Food Life Extender® ethylene scavengers eliminate the ethylene that is off-gassed from produce to prevent it from triggering the ripening process before you're ready.
