    The document summarizes a mathematical model of oxygen transport through aseptic cartons and dissolved in liquid foods. It presents equations to model (1) the initial oxygen concentration and rate of oxygen permeating through the packaging and being consumed in the liquid over time, and (2) the overall mass transfer coefficient that considers diffusion through and absorption/desorption at the packaging material. The model was validated by experiments measuring oxygen levels in packaged orange juice stored at various temperatures. Results showed oxygen concentration changes rapidly in the first day as it reaches equilibrium, with temperature having little effect on the equilibrium level. The packaging material's low permeability relative to the liquid's oxidative reaction rate constant was key to modeling oxygen transport.

    Math Modeling of Oxygen through the Tetra Brik Aseptic Cartons.

    Introduction
    Oxygen diffusion activity in the liquid during storage can highly affect the quality of the
    liquid food. In Ahrne paper, they have studied diffusivity of oxygen with the function of time in
    different temperature. They develop (1) the mathematical model to describe the concentration
    of dissolved oxygen during storage and (2) to asses the validity of the model at different
    temperature.

    Math Modeling
    The oxygen concentration inside a package liquid food depends on three different
    factors. (1) The initial concentration during packaging, (2) Oxygen permeation through the
    multilayer material (3) Oxygen consumption by reaction. A mass balance equation as shown
    below show V, the volume of the container; Co, dissolved oxygen concentration in the juice t a
    time; M Mass Transfer, Mass Transfer Rate and M Kinetics, reaction rate.

    (1.)
    There are three different steps to mass transport of oxygen from atmosphere to the
    liquid. First step, molecules of oxygen being absorbed into the material; second step, diffusion
    of oxygen molecules through the multi layer material, and the last step consist of desorption of
    the molecules from the material into the liquid and solubility of the oxygen into the liquid. New
    variables are introduced into the following equation below, that shows the calculation of K overall
    (Overall Mass Transfer Coefficient). Equation includes partition coefficient inside and outside
    (kp1 and kp2) and D, Diffusion coefficient of oxygen through the material; d, thickness of the
    material, and K int and K out , the mass transfer coefficient inside and outside the package.

    (2.)
    The mass transfer rate through the package is describe using this equation below. K d is the
    oxygen mass transfer coefficient and A is the surface area of the packaging.

    (3.)
    where,

    (4.) and (5.)


    In this experiment, they also used another equation, shown below to describe the change in
    concentration over time, where Kr is the reaction rate constant.
    (6.)
    When equating equation 6 and equation 3, and integrating from t=0 to t=t, the concentration of
    dissolved oxygen in the fluid inside the package is achieved.

    (7.)
    where, C02 equilibrium and the rate constant is described by the following equation.

    (8.) and (9.)


    Results and Conclusion
    After performing the experiment using multiple different measuring equipment and tools, the
    results were collected. During the first day of storage the concentration of dissolved oxygen
    during storage changes drastically however after that it is approximately constant. The changes
    as show in (fig 1.) can caused by the rapid consumption of oxygen by the oxidative reaction in
    juice and reaches equilibrium. In the end, the equilibrium oxygen concentration was found not
    to be significantly dependent on the temperature and initial value of dissolved oxygen
    concentration.

    fig 1.
    A model combining the oxygen transfer through the package and consumption of oxygen into
    the juice, assuming no oxygen in the juice, shows that the level of oxygen changes in packaged
    orange juice stored at temperatures from 4 – 50 degree Celsius. It was found that the oxidative
    reaction in juice packed in Tetra Pak, which has a very high resistivity of transporting oxygen
    across the thickness. The packaging material permeability was much smaller compared to the
    oxidative rate constant of the liquid.
