Recent academic study (Gouda and Duarte, 2024) shows that nearly 40% of fresh produce is lost during post-harvest handling, storage, and transportation, largely due to inadequate environmental control. ...
Improve the environment of your teams today with our HVAC solutions. Horticulture Supporting controlled horticulture environments with reliable and accurate carbon dioxide measurement. Protect, maintain and optimise the growing conditions of your crops with our gas sensing solutions for horticulture. Controlled Atmosphere Storage ...
.* Biogas – CO2 levels can indicate the efficacy of the anaerobic digestion during the fermentation process. Process Control – CO2 and CO concentrations must carefully be controlled in heat gas treatments to ensure that carburising is successful. ...
Furthermore, gas sensing is vital within vertical farming and commercial greenhouse control systems. Gas sensors can control the carbon dioxide concentration for optimal crop growth, a process which will increase the quantity and efficiency of vegetation production and protect the food supply chain. In addition, early gas detection through carbon dioxide and ...
One very successful approach to preserving food quality during transportation and storage is the use of gaseous micro environments in food packaging and storage. This is known as modified atmospheric packaging (MAP), or atmospherically modified package (AMP), where the foods are packed in containers with an environment of ...
Gas delivery systems are used in a wide range of industries and applications. They are used to safely decrease the pressure from high-pressure cylinders to supply various instruments and tools in pharmaceutical, semiconductor, and R&D facilities. In this article, we explore how gas delivery systems can help enhance the production of modified atmosphere ...
Gas delivery systems are used in a broad variety of work environments and a range of applications. The Environics Series 3000 gas blending and gas delivery system provides an on-site blending of 100% pure bulk gases and is configured to offer an alternative to using expensive premixed cylinders of gas. Rather than using premixed cylinders, the gas delivery systems from Environics mean that ...

It is a colourless and odourless gas at room temperature and is present in the Earth’s atmosphere at a low concentration. CO2 enters the atmosphere through the respiration of organisms, the decomposition of organic matter, the burning of fossil fuels and fermentation. ...
For dried products such as flour or cereals, ‘modified atmospheric conditions’, or storage of the food in specific, controlled mixture of gases, can extend shelf life by up to three times by inhibiting chemical reactions that lead to degradation and spoilage.3 Modified Atmospheres Modified ...
Some common applications for a CO2 detector are in monitoring indoor air quality, landfill, process control and controlled environment horticulture. Despite the fact that Carbon Dioxide is difficult to detect, Edinburgh Sensors’ range of CO2 detectors allow the gas to be strongly absorbed as a result of non-dispersive infrared technology. ...
We sell gas detectors to a wide range of industries At Edinburgh Sensors we are proud to be able to provide bespoke gas sensing solutions to a number of different industries such as… Agriculture Landfill Total Organic Carbon (TOC) Biogas Process Control HVAC Horticulture Modified Atmosphere Packaging Controlled ...
The instrument will be introduced along with recent research and applications for ethylene analysis in greenhouses and controlled atmosphere storage using the CI-900. “Until now, ethylene has been a wildcard in horticultural product processing. This instrument brings lab-quality ethylene analysis to producers for a reasonable cost,” ...
The objective was to study the effect of two controlled atmosphere (CA) compositions – 3% O2 and 6% CO2, and 3%O2 and 10% CO2 – on total counts of microorganisms at 30°C and 7°C, count of yeasts and moulds, count of enterobacteriaceae, and count of lactic acid bacteria of carrageenan coated fresh-cut 'Cavendish' banana. ...
Since stems present a short shelf life, the aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of controlled atmosphere on quality of Salicornia ramosissima during four weeks at 4°C. ...
