Transpiration and moisture evolution in packaged fresh horticultural produce and the role of integrated mathematical models: A review [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Transpiration has various adverse effects on postharvest quality and the shelf-life of fresh fruit and vegetables (FFV). If not controlled, the water released through this process results in direct mass loss and moisture condensation inside packaged FFV.
