Abstract: The physiologic properties of fruits and vegetables in modified atmosphere packaging were analyzed. As a controlindex of product quality, the consumption of dry material was put forward. Taking into account the mechanism of gas exchangeand the variations of gas concentration inside package, a mathematical model was developed to predict the shelf life of fruits andvegetables in modified atmosphere packaging.

Key words: modified atmosphere packaging, shelf life, fruits and vegetables, model
