What is Ethylene?
AIRBORNE PATHOGEN AND ETHYLENEREMOVAL
• Natural growth hormone
• It’s invisible, cannot be seen, smelled or felt
• Produced by plant tissue as well as the combustion of synthetic materials
• Not harmful or toxic to humans
• Used in ripening and degreening rooms
![Page 6: ERIS Filter for Ethylene and Pathogen control during Transportation of Fruit, Vegetable or Flowers](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549cce3eac7959f12a8b4869/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What are the effects of Ethylene to fresh produce?
AIRBORNE PATHOGEN AND ETHYLENEREMOVAL
• Discoloration and black spots
• Leaves separate from parent plant
• Ripening procedure is accelerated.
• Unpleasant odor
• Shrinkage and weight loss

Ethylene and cut flowers
AIRBORNE PATHOGEN AND ETHYLENEREMOVAL
What are the flowers damage symptoms?
• Flowers closing prematurely, commonly referred as “going to sleep”.
• Flowers/leaves falling off.
• Yellowing of leaves.
• Rapid flower opening, commonly referred as “blown head”.

Damage by Airborne Pathogens
AIRBORNE PATHOGEN AND ETHYLENEREMOVAL
Millions of $ worth loses are caused each year by Airborne Pathogens during storage or transit of fresh produce.
Most damaging Airborne Pathogens are bacteria, mold and fungi like botrytis, penicillium italicum and penicillium digitatum.
![Page 9: ERIS Filter for Ethylene and Pathogen control during Transportation of Fruit, Vegetable or Flowers](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061214/549cce3eac7959f12a8b4869/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
The Problem:
AIRBORNE PATHOGEN AND ETHYLENEREMOVAL
During transportation in trucks or
containers, air circulation is causing damage by ethylene
and airborne pathogen
concentration.

Eris Filter
Scientifically Proven – Field Tested
AIRBORNE PATHOGEN AND ETHYLENEREMOVAL
Field Test SummaryTest was organized by Scientific Air Solutions, Dr. Rick Falkenberg.
Eris filter was placed in an ocean container transporting fresh produce from California to China. Results from this test show a significant reduction in microbial count with the use of the Eris Filter.Pre shipment air samples (California) ranged from 250-395 CFU/m3. Post shipment air samples (China) ranged from 80-110 CFU/m3.See spatial map following.
