Definition

Respiration, in the context of supply chain, refers to the process of metabolic activity and gas exchange that occurs in perishable goods during storage and transportation. It involves the intake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide by living organisms or fresh produce. Understanding the respiration rates of perishable goods is crucial for proper temperature and humidity control to maintain their freshness and extend their shelf life.
