During a research project, an integrated mathematical model was developed to determine the film permeability for O2 necessary to reach an equilibrium modified atmosphere (EMA) inside a package of fresh produce. Fluctuating temperatures during a distribution chain and their influence on respiration and film permeability were taken into consideration. Validation tests were conducted to determine the shelf life (based on microbial and sensorial analysis) and the safety of EMA packaged fresh-cut produce, subjected to a simulated distribution chain.
