Validation of a packaging design tool: case study for apple packaging.

Author(s) : EAST A. R., SABAREZ H. T., TANNER D. J., et al.

Summary

Horticultural product packaging designers seek a level of package ventilation that achieves the best compromise between the need for rapid removal of heat from products packed at ambient temperatures and optimisation of product weight loss at the desired storage temperature. Mathematical models have been developed which quantify rates of the important heat and mass transfer processes and their effects on product quality. An overview of the model is presented and model predictions are compared with experimental cooling data for commercial apple packaging in an industrial precooler. There was a good agreement between the model and the measured data.
