Join RYPEN on 17 April 2026 in Mola di Bari for a technical symposium on best‑practice post‑harvest management in Italian table grapes. Explore ethylene control, cold‑chain optimisation, agronomy, market trends and real‑world results, with networking throughout the day.

RYPEN study reveals how ethylene, temperature and PPO activity influence grape freshness and rachis browning, highlighting the value of digital scoring for accurate postharvest quality assessment.

Discover how a single gene distinguishes peaches from nectarines and why this slight variation significantly affects texture, handling, and postharvest management, from storage sensitivity to ethylene control in global stone fruit supply chains.

Discover how minimising ethylene exposure preserves firmness, colour, and stem freshness in cherries during long‑haul shipping, reducing pitting and defects across 40–50‑day export programs.

Ethylene is more than a ripening gas—it’s a key plant hormone shaping growth, condition and longevity. Understanding its importance helps to reduce fresh produce waste across the supply chain.

We’re proud to announce that both RYPEN® and our parent brand It’s Fresh® have been […]
