Discover how to apply our preservation technology in your business

Ethylene accelerates ripening even after harvest.

Ethylene build-up in fruit, vegetables and flowers can accelerate ripening, shorten shelf life and cause a loss of product quality.

Premature ripening.

Reduces the time available to store, transport and market your products.

Loss of quality.

Affects the firmness, appearance and commercial condition of your products.

Higher product losses.

A shorter shelf life increases product losses, incidents and food waste.

Discover how to control ethylene throughout your food supply chain

One technology, three ways to protect your products.

BIOethylene controls ethylene in different storage and transport situations, with specific solutions for cold rooms, refrigeration systems in lorries and containers, and direct protection in boxes of up to 20 kg.

BIOethylene equipment.

Extends the shelf life of your fruit, vegetables and flowers by up to 4 times.

Equipment designed to reduce ethylene concentration during the storage and handling of fruit, vegetables and flowers. Patented technology that also provides bactericidal action.

Triple-action technology

The BIOethylene range of air purification equipment uses proprietary patented technology to remove ethylene from the air and delay ripening in fruit and vegetables. Its UV-C and TiO2 technologies also provide bactericidal action, helping to prevent the spread of bacteria, viruses, spores, yeasts and protozoa that cause mould and fungal growth on fruit, vegetables and flowers.

KC Transport.

Up to 70% fewer incidents in refrigerated transport.

Ethylene absorbers for lorries and containers that help delay ripening and reduce incidents during refrigerated transport.

Installation guide

They are very easy to install and are attached to the air intake grille of the transport refrigeration unit (lorry or container) using the supplied cardboard holder and cable ties.

KC Sachets.

Continuous protection throughout the distribution chain.

They are placed inside product boxes to maintain ethylene absorption during transport, loading, unloading, transhipment and distribution.

When to use them

They are placed directly in boxes of fruit, vegetables and flowers, providing continuous protection throughout the distribution chain, including processes such as loading and transhipment. Ideal for products with a short shelf life that require greater protection.

Not sure which solution your product needs?

Discover the benefits.

Extend the shelf life of your products.

Helps preserve fruit, vegetables, flowers and fresh food for longer, maintaining their commercial quality in cold rooms, handling areas, transport and distribution.

Reduce product losses and food waste.

Reduces losses associated with premature ripening, environmental contamination and microbial load throughout the food supply chain.

100% safe for food and workers.

Clean, safe, residue-free technologies. They do not contaminate products or the working environment, avoiding the risks associated with systems such as ozone or chemical disinfection.

Technology developed on a scientific basis.

Research has been central to the development of BIOethylene from the outset. Its results have been evaluated and published in specialist scientific journals, validating its ability to improve preservation and extend the shelf life of different fruit and vegetable products.

Peach

Agronomy
March 2022

The combination of KMnO₄ filters and UV light promoted ethylene removal and better preservation of firmness, colour and ripeness. At 25 °C, treated peaches remained in good condition for up to 7 days longer.

Tomato

LWT – Food Science and Technology
December 2022

The ethylene removal system helped maintain tomato quality, firmness and characteristics for longer. Treated fruit showed slower ripening and better preservation results.

Ercolini pear

Horticulturae
November 2022

The combination of KMnO₄ filters and UV-C radiation improved the physicochemical and sensory quality of refrigerated pears. The complete system achieved the best preservation results at low temperatures.

Broccoli

Foods
June 2023

The combination of permanganate, UV and TiO₂ reduced ethylene and improved the postharvest quality of broccoli stored with tomatoes. The treatment helped preserve its characteristics and extend product shelf life.

Reduce food waste.

Our technology can reduce food waste by up to 40%, helping to create a more sustainable world.

Save costs by reducing waste throughout the food supply chain

Benefits of using KeepCool.

Fewer product losses

Fewer incidents

Less waste

Longer shelf life

Regulatory compliance

Would you like to reduce losses in your facility?

What our customers say.

We were looking for an effective, residue-free postharvest system for our citrus fruit that would reduce losses caused by pathogens. The KeepCool system has achieved this, even exceeding our expectations.

Lorry shipments from the Canary Islands to mainland Spain arrived without losses associated with premature ripening.

Extended the shelf life of green bananas from 20 to 50 days.
