Author(s) : RICHARDSON P. S., HOOPER G. I.

Summary

This book contains comprehensive abstracts of the 52 papers and posters presented at this conference, held in Birmingham, United Kingdom, on September 12-13, 2000. The contributions reflect the opportunities and problems involved in the development and safe processing of food products. Topic sessions: product structure and formulation (measurement of the surface heat transfer coefficient during freezing on a scraped surface; robotic cutting of 'hot' and chilled pork primals); risk assessment and hygiene; process management and integrated control systems (non invasive temperature measurement in thermal processing); engineering products for the consumer (determination of safe re-heating instructions for refrigerated food products targeted for microwave heating). The poster presentations are on the following: air and immersion cooling of cook-chill food; comparison of product quality after air blast and cryogenic freezing processes; development of a fluidized bed food freezing system that can use air cycle technology; development of microwave reheating protocols for chilled food; enhancing the rate of food cooling.
