“…Mastering mass transfer in the food/packaging system enables to control and limit the food degradation, which is why such mass transfer properties are such important product process specifications (Angellier-Coussy et al, 2013;Chaix, Broyart, et al, 2015). Several mathematical models were developed combining mass transfer models (based on Fick's laws) with models of food degradation-Mickaëlis-Menten equation for respiration or first-order reactions for oxidation for instance- (Bacigalupi, Lemaistre, Peyron, Guillard, & Chalier, 2013;Pénicaud, Broyart, Peyron, Gontard, & Guillard, 2011). In addition to the aforementioned Tailorpack application developed for fruit and vegetables, we developed the Map'Opt application for non-respiring products that can predict microbial growth as a function of packaging permeabilities and initial gas concentrations initially flushed in headspace at the time of packaging Guillard, Couvert, et al, 2016).…”
