Abstract

Model predicting the respiration rate of pear under modified LDPE film pouch has been developed. The assumptions of the model have three bases; 1) respiration rate is depending on $CO_2$ and $O_2$ concentration in the package, 2) the oxidation of glucose in pear generates carbon dioxides, and 3) gases permeation through the package film bases on the Langmuir adsorption theory and Fick's law. The simulated results agreed fairly well with the experimental data so as this model to be useful in designing the modified atmospheric packaging system.
