Zusammenfassung:The present invention provides a composition for adsorbing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) derived from organic matter comprising: a) palladium doped zeolite and b) a water-soluble binder which is guar gum, gum arabic, 2-hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and a polyethylene oxide. The invention also provides the use of the composition for adsorbing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as ethylene from perishable organic goods. The invention is thereby useful as part of a packaging material for fruit, vegetables, plants and/or cut flowers.
