Modelling product quality in MA systems; the missing link

Although much work has been done o­n showing the general effects of MA conditions, quantification of the effects o­n changes in quality attributes is still limited. This work demonstrates how gas exchange models can be used to interpret the rate of quality change processes in function of the MA conditions applied. Rates of firmness loss in ‘Braeburn’ apples and colour change in ‘Hass’ avocado are studied and successfully linked to the MA conditions via the rates of gas exchange: respiration and fermentation.
