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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

Telling if a fruit is ripe is usually as simple as seeing if it has the right color. But that task is harder if a fruit does not change color as it ripens, like a kiwi, for example. A new sensor that ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology have developed a sensor technology that can detect ethylene during the food storage and distribution phases to measure quality. Jung ...
