Respiration rate is dependent on factors like storage temperature and composition of storage atmosphere, a mathematical approach to predict the respiration rate under given conditions would be an immense help in both design and process control of such storage systems. Experimental data were generated at temperatures of 14 and 28°C for moringa pods using the closed system method. The generated data were used in the model developed byMenon and Goswami (2008) for mango model based on regression analysis. The model was tested for its validity at 21°C and it showed good agreement with the experimentally estimated respiration rate.Keywords

Respiration is a process of oxidative breakdown of organic matter present in the cells into simpler molecules along with concurrent production of energy and other molecules which can be used by the cell for synthetic reactions. Respiration rates have been used as an index for the metabolic activities of fruits during ripening and senescence. The respiration process depends on the physical properties like mass, volume and surface area of the produce. In the present study, the physical properties were determined and modeled using the graphical method. The respiration rate was determined at three different temperatures (ambient, 14°C and 24°C) by using formula method and the same was modeled based on enzyme kinetic reactions as per Michaelis- Menten type of equation using non-linear regression in Sigmaplot 8.0 software. Results indicated that the mathematical model was found to be good fit.Keywords
