2. What’s happening?

4. Science of respiration
Fruit and vegetables need oxygen to stay fresh
The respiration rate varies by variety and changes through the seasons

5. Science of AMAP
By controlling (reducing) the amount of oxygen, the respiration is reduced and an equilibrium atmosphere created inside the packaging. This reduces the aging process.
An equilibrium atmosphere can be achieved by adapting the permeability of the packaging through microperforations
