Summary

Exposure of packaged fresh produce in modified atmospheres to elevated temperatures can cause the partial pressure of oxygen inside the produce to fall below internal lower O2 limits, resulting in fermentation and loss of quality. Results of the current study indicate temperature effects on lower O2 limits would not be significant except for modified-atmosphere packages destined for markets with ambient temperature in excess of 28 deg C.
