Ethene (C₂H₄) is a natural plant hormone that promotes fruit ripening. It is used in artificial ripening chambers for fruits like mangoes, bananas, and tomatoes. • Ethyne (C₂H₂) is sometimes misused for ripening but is toxic. • Ethanol (C₂H₅OH) is used in beverages and disinfectants, not for ripening. • Methane (CH₄) is a greenhouse gas and has no role in fruit ripening.
