Summary

The study was intended to extend, by optimizing modified atmosphere packaging, the shelf life of the Italian vegetable sauce used for spaghetti and known as 'pesto'. A mathematical model was developed in order to predict gas composition inside the polymeric package (CO2 concentration). A useful extension of pesto shelf life, up to 120 days, was achieved by adopting a target atmosphere containing, at steady state, 10% CO2 and 90% N2 at 5 °C.
