Modelling the chilling of pig carcasses using an evolutionary method.

Author(s) : PHAM Q. T., COULTER S.

Summary

Constructing a mathematical model for the cooling of food products such as animal carcasses from experimental data is difficult because of variations in product geometry and composition, errors in measuring cooling conditions, and truncation errors during the numerical solution of the model's equations. The cooling of pork carcasses was successfully represented by a finite difference model, whose parameters were found using an evolutionary error minimisation method.
