A play on the word ‘ripen’ our ethylene moderating technology (that we call RYPEN) ensures the ripening process of fruits and vegetables is naturally enabled but in a controlled, steady manner. By doing this our technology extends produce life, or the peak ripeness window, while allowing natural flavour, aroma, texture and colour profiles to fully develop.

The ideal time for fresh produce to be ripe is when it arrives in the hands of the person who’s going to eat it. Therefore, everyone involved in the fresh produce supply chain wants to delay ripening as much as they can. There are many ways to do this, some of which compromise the consumer’s eating experience. Our RYPEN Technology doesn’t compromise the eating experience, but allows everyone involved in getting the produce to the consumer to have a little bit more time to get it there safely, and in great condition.
