Purple Power Pellets preserve the freshness of agricultural products by absorbing and decomposing ethylene gas.

Example using ETHYLENE CONTROL ｜Freshness Retention Agent SAN-AI ETHYLENE CONTROL These apricots were stored for three months in a typical household refrigerator.
The results are completely different from conventional activated charcoal used to deodorize.
Ethylene Gas

Fruits, vegetables and fresh flowers continue respiration even after being harvested, and they expel a variety of gases, the most famous of which is ethylene.
This gas causes agricultural products to ripen and age. In other words, agricultural products shorten their own lifespans with the ethylene gas that they themselves expel.
Therefore, if it were possible to control ethylene gas throughout the entire process from harvesting to consumption, including storage, importing and sale, then it would be possible to dramatically lengthen the lifespan of products and enable storage for a surprisingly long period of time.
It is possible to slow the process of decay using current typical freshness retention methods, such as storing products in refrigerators and humidifying. These are incapable of stopping the generation of harmful ethylene gas. And even if it were possible to avoid the effects of this gas, it would still require a massive investment in equipment.



Product to control ethylene gas

We introduce ETHYLENE CONTROL as the easiest and most effective method of controlling ethylene gas.
These are Purple Power Pellets (PPP material), which have already been patented in the US. These pellets are the only product of their type that has been approved for usage by the US Department of Agriculture and other major US agricultural committees. It is composed of natural zeolite and a minuscule amount of potassium permanganate, and it renders ethylene gas harmless by oxidizing it.
*Our company’s ETHYLENE CONTROL has been proved to slow the rate of decay in fresh produce, suppress the formation of mold and remove odors.

  • Absorbs and decomposes ethylene gas
  • Cuts food losses by up to 29%
  • Kills airborne bacteria and mold spores
  • Removes unpleasant odors exuded by over-ripe agricultural products
  • Prevents premature ripening, decay and discoloration
  • Improves customer satisfaction through provision of high-quality agricultural products

Product to control ethylene gas

In some cases, people think that using a freshness retention agent will prevent agricultural products, particularly fruit, from increasing in sugar content, but…
…that is not true at all.
It is a physiological effect in all agricultural products that temperature causes starch to turn into sugar, and once that happens, the product ripens and ages, but our company’s freshness retention agent, ETHYLENE CONTROL, never prevents the level of sugar from increasing. Rather, it enables you to control the speed that products sweeten, ripen and age, which greatly contributes to improving the storability of agricultural products.This is also the official comment from the prefectural agricultural testing site, so you can use the product with peace of mind.

ETHYLENE CONTROL is useful in all stages of distribution.

  • After harvesting,
    it preserves
    freshness while
    storing products
    prior to shipping.

  • It prevents
    deterioration of
    freshness during
    transport.

  • It enables
    retail shops to sell
    fresh products.

  • It enables
    products to be
    stored longer than
    in a household
    refrigerator.

The main ingredient is special, high-functioning, US-made zeolite, for which ETHYLENE CONTROL Co. possesses exclusive mining rights. This zeolite, which is overwhelmingly superior to zeolite mined in other countries, is of the highest purity and contains no hazardous Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).
Our product’s main selling points are that the Material Safety Data Sheet shows it to be 50~70% more effective than rival products currently available on the market, and that our product occupies a large share of the world market and is patented in the US, which has exclusive rights.


Public research institutions rate the features of our product very highly!

Following impartial research conducted in 1997 at the University of California, the research institute at the university reported on removal of ethylene gas, saying, “The most important point is controlling the amount of ethylene gas so that it doesn’t get to the point at which it begins to cause damage.” Products from several companies said to be capable of removing ethylene gas were tested during the course of this research, and the research institute reached the conclusion that only ETHYLENE CONTROL Company’s product is capable of effectively removing ethylene gas.
ETHYLENE CONTROL has achieved not only its main goal of oxidizing ethylene gas and rendering it harmless but also the effect to prevent airborne bacteria, viruses, sourness due to decay as well as the formation of blue mold (penicillium) and brown mushrooms.
