In European markets it is high, but demand still exceeds supply.
Considering the shortage of mangoes in the European and North American markets, ripening technology has become an essential element for mango suppliers.
Each mango goes through several stages before ending up in the hands of consumers: harvest, transport, washing, storage and ripening. The maturation stage is an extremely important step in the supply chain. According to Li, manager of Shandong AWT biotech, “The ideal temperature for ripening mangoes in a chamber is around 25 degrees Celsius. Mangoes must remain in that chamber for three days and then cool in another room to about 13 degrees Celsius. If the ripening process could be simplified or shortened, this would have a huge impact on the supply chain. “
Ripening rooms are expensive and do not respond easily to changes in the market. That is why Shandong AWT Biotech developed a more flexible and practical mango ripening product: the FYK mango ripening stimulant.
According to manager Li, “FYK mango ripening stimulant is a safe and healthy product. The active element in this product is ethylene gas. Ethylene stimulates the ripening process by combining RNA and proteins, which accelerates the respiration process. As the fruit breathes, the ripening process accelerates. Ethylene ripeners like FYK allow suppliers to control the time and place of ripening, helping them respond to changes in the market. “
Mangoes that have undergone the ripening process with ethylene ripeners have a vivid color, a long shelf life, a sweet flavor and an impeccable pulp. The quality of the product is far superior.
