Fruit ripening is a biological process in which ethylene gas is generated by the fruits which in turn also acts in causing further acceleration of the ripening process. Thus one can start and trigger the process of ripening of fruits by introducing ethylene in some form. It is also known that the ripening can be started by introducing acetylene; acetylene is generated by keeping small quantities of calcium carbide particles or dust. This carbide while coming into contact with moist atmospheric air causes generation of acetylene which in turn warms up the atmosphere as well as known to trigger the ripening in fruits.
