Chilling of pork carcasses with time-variable conditions: analysis and modelling.

Author(s) : DAUDIN J. D., KUITCHE A.

Summary

Thirty experiments were carried out either under constant conditions or time-variable conditions on hindquarters of pork carcasses. The temperature profiles measured at different points of the thickest section and the weight loss kinetics are discussed. A model was elaborated by adaptation of the analytical solutions of the Fourier's equations. The complexity of the carcass shape was considered by fitting a shape factor and an equivalent surface area of exchange. The results demonstrate that the model can be used by professionals involved in chiller design and operation to compare different processes.
