This research aims to mathematically model the respiration rate of Cavendish bananas to understand temperature effects on respiration.
Mathematical modeling of respiration rates using Arrhenius and Michaelis–Menten approaches.
Samples stored at three temperatures: 7, 17, and 27 °C.
Respiration rates monitored at three-hour intervals over three weeks.
Arrhenius model effectively described O₂ consumption and CO₂ production, with high correlation coefficients.
Michaelis–Menten modeling showed Competitive and Uncompetitive inhibition provided the best fit.
Validation tests indicated consistently high R² values and low error metrics for all samples.
