Abstract
Summary: Modifications to the American Society for Testing and Materials standard method (D1434) for the determination of film oxygen permeability are described. The method gives results consistent with published data and allows the measurement of permeability under likely food storage humidity conditions.It is recommended that the permeability of hydrophilic materials used for meat packaging should be measured at 100% relative humidity (RH) to permit adequate comparison with other films.Keywords
