Why could make
the ethylene gas fruit ripen?
Because when the fruit picked or fruit will release ethylene gas. This gas causes the cells of fruit to make all the changes involved with the process of maturation. Such changes include chlorophyll is broken down, causing discoloration, altered starch into sugar and make sweet fruit, causing the fruit acid extract did not feel sour, and dipecahnya pectin that makes fruit softer.
What caused the ripening fruit?
Because the process of ripening fruit will naturally result in some natural gases such as water vapor, CO2 and acetylene (carbide gas = C2H2).
In chemistry into storage if the fruit is also added carbide it will spur the production of acetylene from the fruit, which means the faster maturation process. Carbide (CaC2) if in the open air will react with water vapor in the air (H2O) little by little to produce acetylene (C2H2).

Ethylene
(ethylene) can be produced naturally by plants, ethylene cause various diseases
in plants include chlorosis, leaf abscission, epinasti, stimulate adventitious
roots, and fruit maturity. Ethylene
also causes an increase in the permeability of the cell membrane, which is a
common effect caused by the infection. On
the other hand, ethylene causes the formation fitoaleksin in some tissues and
stimulates the synthesis or activity of several enzymes that may memeinkan role
in increasing plant resistance to infection. Ethylene
can be produced by several plant pathogenic fungi and bacteria. In
the infected banana Pseudomonas solanacearum, ethylene content increases with
penguningan (premature) fruit, whereas ethylene can not be detected in the
healthy fruit. Ethylene
is also seen in the leaves epinasi symptoms of vascular wilt syndrome and the
premature abortion were found in some plant diseases.
Below is a picture of some vegetables damaged by ethylene:
According Prayitno J. and U. Mathesius (2012) ethylene is a gaseous plant growth substance that has a negative effect on the development of Medicago truncatula nodules.
