Summary

Mass transfer of O2 and CO2 through the skin of fruits stored in refrigerated and controlled atmospheres could potentially represent the rate determining step of their aerobic respiration process and then also affect their shelf life. The mass transfer rate of the two respiratory gases was evaluated in Golden Delicious apples as a function of temperature (21, 16, 11, 6, and 1 deg C) by looking at the values assumed by the constants connected to the kinetic equation introduced to describe this diffusion process. Results are given.
