Modelling of respiration and modified-atmosphere packaging of mango 'Nam Dok Mai'.

Author(s) : CHAROENCHAITAWORNCHIT A., KANLAYANARAT S., TONGTA A.

Summary

Experiments for the determination of respiration rates of mango 'Nam Dok Mai' were carried out in a closed system at various temperatures. Changes of the O2 and CO2 concentrations in the closed system were recorded with time. It was found that Michaelis-Menten equation with uncompetitive inhibition kinetic fitted best with the experimental results. The temperature dependence of the constants of the respiration rate equation followed an Arrhenius relationship.
