Modified-atmosphere packaging of blueberry fruit: modeling respiration and package oxygen partial pressures as a function of temperature.

Author(s) : CAMERON A. C., BEAUDRY R. M., BANKS N. H., YELANICH M. V.

Type of article: Article

Summary

The authors' procedure predicted that, if allowed to attain steady-state conditions, packages with pores and optimized to 2 kilopascals oxygen at 0 deg C would become anaerobic with as little as a 5 K increase in temperature. The results are discussed in relation to the risk of temperature abuse during handling and marketing of modified-atmosphere packaged fruit and strategies to avoid induction of anaerobiosis.
