Abstract

Simulation study compared predicted in-pack gaseous composition of O2 and CO2 with the actual experimental data and predicted in-pack water vapour and temperature as well as the appropriate shelf life of chickpea sprouts. The actual and simulated results for in-pack gaseous composition O2/CO2 was 14.46; 8.45 % and 14.99; 7.92 % for PP package (100g) and 14.22; 8.85 % and 14.21; 10.57 % for 100g of LDPE package containing chickpea sprout under MAP. Verification of developed model considered the prediction of in-pack gaseous composition and storage period packed under PP and LDPE polymeric films with the experimental value and showed a near proximity. A model with the selected quality attribute (lightness of hypocotyl) thus could provide a fair insight into the shelf life of chickpea sprout under modified atmospheric packaging.
