Abstract
Many fruits and vegetables are sensitive to ethylene, which upon prolonged exposure induces the deterioration of food quality, such as change in taste, odour and colour, or microbial growth. Therefore, ethylene scavengers in packages can be used to limit ethylene accumulation. Ethylene scavengers extend the shelf life and retain the original food quality. Here, we review ethylene scavenging systems such as potassium carbonate, palladium, natural clays, titanium dioxide-based, electron-deficient dienes and trienes. Ethylene scavenging is done by chemical reactions and physical adsorption. We then discuss the applications and benefits of ethylene scavengers in packages. The efficiency of ethylene scavengers is improved using atmospheric packaging tools.

用于新鲜食品主动包装的乙烯清除剂
摘要
许多水果和蔬菜对乙烯很敏感,长时间接触会导致食物质量下降,例如味道,气味和颜色的变化或微生物的生长。因此,包装中的乙烯清除剂可用于限制乙烯的积累。乙烯清除剂可延长保质期并保持原始食品质量。在这里,我们回顾了乙烯清除系统,例如碳酸钾,钯,天然粘土,二氧化钛基,缺电子二烯和三烯。乙烯清除是通过化学反应和物理吸附完成的。然后,我们讨论包装中乙烯清除剂的应用和益处。使用常压包装工具可提高乙烯清除剂的效率。
