Summary

A continuous flow liquid-ice system was designed and tested for precooling broccoli. Ice particles were injected into a water stream, then the mixture was pumped into the box of produce. A granulometric method was adapted to measure ice particles. The effects of different ice particles sizes and ice-water ratios on the surface temperature of broccoli, the mass of ice remaining in the boxes of broccoli, and the icing efficiencies were analysed. Recommended conditions for the operating parameters of the proposed system are presented.
