Accurate determination of thermal properties in non-homogeneous food products.

Author(s) : LEATH S. R., NORTH M. F., CARSON J.

Summary

The design of cooking and cooling processes is strongly dependent on the thermal properties of the food product involved. Two important thermal properties are the specific heat capacity and enthalpies of transition, which can be measured using a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Beef fractions were analysed between 20 and 90 °C (cooking temperatures). The specific heat capacities and enthalpies of denaturation and/or melting, during heating and cooling, were measured. The consistency of the amplitude and onset of transitions demonstrated that accurate results could be obtained using the methods developed.
