The research involves the application of numerical methods capable of describing the typical curves of O2 consumption and CO2 production of fruit packed in modified atmosphere, considering the Michaelis Menten constant during breathing. Through language Visual Basic program, whose results were validated using experimental data obtained by Song et al is made. (1992) and experimental values obtained in the laboratory of Food Analysis of the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Metallurgy. Reached the following conclusions: Ordinary Differential Equations facilitate quantification of residual oxygen and carbon dioxide within the packaging of vegetables under modified atmosphere. Carbon dioxide is stable after 30 hours storage banana. The program was developed satisfactory performance for the banana fruit.Downloads
