Applicability of Simplified Simulation Models for Perforation-Mediated Modified Atmosphere Packaging of Fresh Produce

Figure 6

Comparison of the estimated gas composition between the comprehensive and simplified diffusion models for the perforated model package containing 0.35 kg spinach (a) or 0.9 kg king oyster mushrooms (b). The adopted perforations were 3.0 × 10−3–2.0 × 10−2 m in diameter and 2.0 × 10−3–5.0 × 10−2 m in length for spinach and 5.0 × 10−3−2.0 × 10−2 m in diameter and 2.0 × 10−3−1.5 × 10−2 m in length for king oyster mushrooms.
