es were taken through a septum at regular intervals during storage at room temperature and ethylene concentration measured using a Gas Chromatograph. The reduction of concentration of ethylene in cells containing 1000 cm2 of each of the films was minimal after 24 hours incubation. On the contrary, ethylene concentration in cells in which commercially available 5g ethylene absorbing sachets based on potassium permanganate were placed was undetectable after 2 hours and even a granule of the potass
