A model for to describe O2 and CO2 evolution in a MAP system is proposed.
Respiration rate of tomato was described with a Michaelis–Menten enzyme kinetics.
Gas transfer through film and perforations was described with Fick’s law equations.
The influence of temperature in these processes was determined using Arrhenius’s law.
By properly configure the package is possible to reach a specified O2 (or CO2) concentration.
