Industry experts gathered at RYPEN’s Bari technical event to explore table grape post‑harvest quality, ethylene management and modern supply chain solutions.

Explore why inhibiting ethylene with 1‑MCP isn’t always ideal, and how managing natural ripening can protect flavour, texture, and eating quality throughout the fresh produce supply chain.

Freshness in grapes and cherries is defined by their stems. Learn why green, hydrated rachis and pedicels signal quality, how ethylene accelerates degradation, and how moderation protects shelf life and market value.

Climate change is reshaping global fruit export supply chains. Learn how heatwaves, reduced winter chill and water stress impact the condition of fresh produce—and how RYPEN technology helps protect freshness, reduce waste, and improve resilience from harvest to arrival.

Explore why raspberries lose moisture quickly after harvest and how ethylene‑moderating technology can slow softening, reduce defects, preserve quality, and extend shelf life across the supply chain.

Preserve vibrant greenness in table grapes with RYPEN’s ethylene‑moderating technology. Learn how reducing ethylene exposure slows chlorophyll loss, protects colour during long‑haul shipping, and improves arrival quality, delivering fresher, brighter grapes from harvest to retail.

Discover how anthocyanin‑rich fruits lose colour after harvest and how RYPEN helps preserve red, purple, blue and black hues by moderating ethylene, improving colour stability, shelf-life and visual appeal across the supply chain.

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.
