Calcium carbide
carbide we call it, when in contact with water or moisture will produce acetylene gas. Gas is its chemical structure is similar to the natural Ethylene. Because it is filled with acetylene gas, the fruit will ripen simultaneously ferment. Yes, if less ripe fruit will not mature as nicely, because the content of carbohydrates - starch substance is still lacking. Acetylene gas as the light would fly and mixed with air.
Dangers posed as yet no real evidence, everything is just based on assumption without scientific evidence.Ripening fruit in this way are healthier than used Liquid Chemicals Ethylene containing the bercamour phosphorus. Phosphorous mixture ternmasuk highly toxic, besides its application by spraying rub the fruit.
What is Calcium Carbide (Carbide)?Calcium carbide or carbide is a chemical compound with chemical formula CaC2. Carbide is used in carbide welding process and also to accelerate the maturation of the fruit. ONEquation for Calcium Carbide with water isCaC2 + 2 H2O → C2H2 + Ca (OH) 2Therefore 1 gram CaC2 produces acetylene 349ml. In the process of carbide welding, acetylene is then burned to generate the heat required in welding.
Ethylene gascarbide has long been used traditionally to stimulate fruit maturity. Its effectiveness is only one hundredth than ethylene. Who knew that in addition to hyper maturity, acetylene gas produced from calcium carbide is also useful to eliminate green.Ethylene is a plant and cause more rapid maturation in many fruits, including bananas. Ethylene formation requires O2 and is inhibited by CO2. All parts of the plant can produce ethylene gas angiosperms. Formation mainly occurs in roots, shoot apical meristem, mode, fall flowers and ripe fruit.
Ethylene gas has an influence on growth and development, including the following.
1) Ripening fruit. The traders often store the fruit in containers gassed with CO2 at the time of delivery so that the fruit longer to mature and ripen after destination. Sometimes merchants brood ripe fruit with fresh fruit that mature quickly.
2) Gas ethylene inhibits flowering in many plants. However, in some plant species, ethylene stimulates flowering. For example, the mango trees and pineapples.
3) Stimulate abscission (defoliation)
4) Joint gibberellin determine the expression of the genital organs of plants, such as the cucumber.
Ethylene is a growth hormone that is produced from normal metabolism in plants. Role of ethylene in fruit ripening and leaf loss. Ethylene is also called ethene
[1] The compound of ethylene in plants found in the gas phase, so it is also called ethylene gas. Ethylene gas is colorless and volatile
[2].Ethylene is often used by the distributors and importers of fruit. Fruit packed in immature fruit for transport dealers. Once up to trade, the fruit is given ethylene (brooded) so fast cook.In fruit ripening, ethylene working to solve the chlorophyll in young fruit, so the fruit has only xantofil and carotene. Thus, the color becomes orange or red fruit
