Use of ethylene for ripening of the fruit is a common

practice in different countries but due to high cost

and scarcity in terms of its availability, many

developing countries like use low-cost calcium carbide to ripen fruit

Ethylene has been found not harmful or toxic to humans in the concentrations found in ripening rooms.

It affects the growth, development, ripening, and senescence (aging) of all plants.

Ethylene is the gas. In some countries, calcium carbide is used for ripening fruit artificially. When the chemical comes in contact with moisture, it produces acetylene gas, which is similar in action to the natural ripening agent ethylene.
