Summary

This experiment is aimed to utilize an image analyzing procedure for studying temperature distribution within a head lettuce and its expansion during vacuum cooling process. The study shows that temperature in the cross-sectional surface of the product, which was initially uniformly distributed, was begun to propagate towards non-uniformity at the flash point. A modified mass-average-temperature analysis was used to precisely determine the appropriate location of temperature measurement within the product during the vacuum cooling process.
