Oxygen permeability is an important factor for designing packaging materials for high fat foods like butter,oils,meat. For fruits and vegetables the major focus is on ethylene gas. Can you please provide some more information on the first question of oxygen permeability for packaging of different products.
Thanking you.
High-fat food is prone to oxidation when comes in contact with oxygen and cause ‘Rcidity’and that’s why the oxygen permeability is one of main the factors while selecting & considering their packaging material for High-fat foods such as butter & oils. On the other hand Fruits and Vegetables are categories as climacteric and non-climacteric and also, fresh fruits and vegetables continue to ‘breathe’ or respire after they have been harvested. This process consumes oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water vapor. Hope this helps you!
