ENERGY REQUIREMENTS AND PROCESSING COSTS FOR FREEZE-DEHYDRATION OF PRE-RIGOR MEAT.

Author(s) : JUDGE M. D.

Type of article: Article

Summary

THE ENERGY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE FREEZE-DRYING AND SUBSEQUENT USE IN SAUSAGE MANUFACTURE ARE TABULATED IN DETAIL FOR ALL STAGES OF OPERATIONS FROM THE CARCASS TO REHYDRATION OF THE MEAT. THE DATA IS COMPARED WITH SIMILAR DATA FOR THE TWO CONVENTIONAL PROCESSES USING FRESH OR FROZEN MEAT. ENERGY REQUIREMENTS, COSTS COVER ELECTRICITY, REFRIGERATION, STEAM, FUEL FOR TRANSPORT, STORAGE AND PROCESSING. COST CALCULATIONS AND ASSUMPTIONS ARE APPENDED. THE CONCLUSION REACHED IS THAT FREEZE DEHYDRATION IS LESS EFFICIENT THAN PRESERVATION BY FREEZING. NORMAL TRANSPORT COSTS, LAND AND OVERSEAS, ARE NOT SUFFICIENTLY HIGH TO OFF-SET THE COST OF FREEZE-DRYING. THERE MAY BE CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE THE EXTRA COST OF FD MAY BE JUSTIFIED. C.R.F.
