Imec and Holst Centre have demonstrated a single-chip electrochemical sensor for ethylene monitoring with a detection limit of 200-300ppb (parts per billion). Imec and Holst Centre’s solution enables ...

A miniature and cost effective single chip sensor that paves the way for the monitoring of ethylene levels in fruit consignments throughout the supply chain could drastically cut food waste and boost ...

To control flowering and fruit ripening, plants release the gaseous hormone ethylene. Environmental conditions, including drought, salinity and pathogens, can also cause levels of the hormone to ...

Chemists have created a tiny sensor that can detect ethylene gas, a plant hormone, in concentrations as low as 15 parts per billion. The sensor could be used to monitor produce ripeness and prevent ...

(Nanowerk News) The term ethylene (ethene) generally brings to mind polyethylene plastics, not fruit. However, ethylene is more than just a feedstock for chemical industry, it is also the smallest ...

US researchers have built an ethylene detecting sensor that communicates with an RFID tag to reduce food waste in the supply chain. The sensor can detect concentrations of ethylene as low as 0.5 parts ...

Are you kind of person who ends up with overripe fruit in your grocery store basket, but don’t realize it until you get your haul back to the kitchen? Well not to worry — there’s an “artificial nose” ...

NIMS and AIST have developed a small sensor capable of continuously monitoring the plant hormone ethylene. Ethylene gas promotes ripening in fruits and vegetables, but excessive exposure promotes them ...

To the chagrin of Dumpster divers everywhere, grocers may soon have sensors that accurately measure fruit ripeness, helping them reduce the amount of produce they throw away due spoilage on store ...
