Development and Validation of Mathematical Model for Gas Transmission through Thin Film

Article Preview

Abstract:

A mathematical model to predict oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapour exchanges in non-perforated and micro-perforated thin films in modified atmosphere packaging system has successfully been proposed. Validation of the mathematical model was found to yield good prediction for gas exchanges in the mass of the produce after comparison with the experimental results of modified atmosphere packaging for Lycopersicon esculentum fruit.
