Summary

A computer simulation procedure has been developed to deal with the separation occurring between thermal and geometric centres of a brick shaped frozen food, initially at a homogeneous temperature, when storage temperature is submitted to different fluctuations. Two parameters in association to the causative agent are proposed to characterise the detachment: the time of appearance and the maximum temperature difference reached between both centres.
