About Our Products

At the heart of AgroFresh Inc.’s groundbreaking, patented ethylene management systems is our proprietary 1-Methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) technology, which helps the commercial produce and floral industries maintain the freshness and quality of their fresh fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants.

The SmartFreshSM Quality System for fruits and vegetables maintains the fresh quality of produce during routine storage and shipping. SmartFresh technology protects fruits and vegetables from the effects of ethylene after harvest. Ethylene causes produce to grow and ripen, but also to eventually soften and over-ripen. Typically introduced right after harvest, the SmartFresh Quality System helps to maintain just-picked quality by protecting fruits and vegetables from ethylene damage while in storage, awaiting consumption.

AgroFresh’s EthylBloc™ technology uses our proprietary 1-MCP technology to help the floral industry and flower and plant producers to maintain the freshness and quality of their products. Flowers and plants, just like fresh fruits and vegetables, also produce ethylene to help them grow and flourish, but it also eventually causes them to wilt and fade after harvest. EthylBloc technology works with flowers and plants to keep them field fresh and beautiful throughout shipping and distribution.

The SmartFresh Quality System and EthylBloc technologies do not create or improve quality but rather maintain the just harvested quality that growers work so hard to produce for their customers.
