Summary

A perforated plexiglass package box was used to study modified atmosphere packaging of broccoli (Brassica oleracea) florets. Three package orientations and perforation locations were studied. Two temperature conditions were studied namely: constant temperature at 2 deg C and variable temperature between 2 and 20 deg C. Package orientation and perforation location affected gas concentration gradients across the package. Temperature variations resulted in gas concentration fluctuation in the package.
