Notas:
Industrial shipment of horticultural crops needs a cheaper alternative to controlled atmosphere reefer containers for transportation from Europe to markets of America or Asia. The diffusion membrane system patented by Marcellin thirty years ago has been recently developed in France. In this work the design of a model for packaging low quantity of products, and the extrapolation of results to pallets or bins scale has been restudied. Essentially, at chilling storage temperature the O2 and CO2 diffusion through the silicone membrane interacts with respiratory activity of the product within the s...
