Predicting keeping quality of strawberries (cv. `Elsanta') packed under modified atmospheres: an integrated model approach

摘要: Abstract Keeping quality of `Elsanta' strawberries ( Fragaria × ananassa Duchesne) can be limited by botrytis infection. The spoilage, in terms number affected, is described a simple sigmoidal growth curve. rate decay assumed to depend on temperature and the metabolic strawberries. gas exchange was Michaelis-Menten type model. parameters for model were estimated from an independent set data as function O 2 , CO temperature. experimental gathered different batches at atmospheric conditions temperatures could explained level 83%. Differences between individual traced back initial related ripening stage. integrated approach used study effect MA keeping spoilage.
