Summary

A combined experimental and numerical study of microwave thawing of a food analog material is reported. The objective of the study is to determine thawing histories and temperature profiles for cylindrically shaped samples. Microwave thawing experiments of samples with different aspect ratios were performed to collect time-temperature data for various power levels. These measured thawing times were utilized in a comparative analysis with the numerical predictions.
