WHY ETHYLENE GAS TO MAKE A QUICK FRUIT RIPE

why ethylene gas to make a quick fruit ripe?
Ethylene is a growth hormone that is produced from normal metabolism in plants. Role of ethylene in fruit ripening and leaf loss. Ethylene is also called ethane
1. Ethylene compounds in plants are found in the gas phase, that is also called ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is colorless and volatile
2.Etilen has a fairly simple structure and are produced in higher plants.benefits of Ethylene
Ethylene is often used by the distributors and importers of fruit. Fruit packed in immature fruit for transport dealers. Once up to trade, the fruit is given ethylene (brooded) so fast cook.
In fruit ripening, ethylene working to solve the chlorophyll in young fruit, so the fruit has only xantofil and carotene. Thus, the color becomes orange or red fruit
Biosynthesis and Metabolism
Ethylene
is produced by higher plants from the essential amino acid methionine in all plant tissues. Production of ethylene depends on the type of tissue, species, and stage of development. Ethylene is formed from methionine via 3 ATP process is an important component in the synthesis of ethylene. ATP and water will make methionine lost 3 phosphate groups. 1-Amino-1-carboxylic aminosiklopropana synthase (ACC synthase) and facilitates the production of ACC and SAM (S-adenosil methionine).
Oxygen required to oxidize ACC and ethylene production. This reaction is catalyzed using ethylene-forming enzyme. ACC synthase enzymes in tomatoes to be manipulated through biotechnology to slow ripening of the fruit so that the flavor is maintained.
