Summary

A screening analysis was performed to determine the influence of independent parameters (18) on thawing times of frozen spherical (prolate and oblate) and finitely cylindrical foods using a computerized simulation procedure assuming food volume shrinkage from density changes and temperature dependent physical properties. Of 18 independent parameters, 6 were significant for both foods. Predictive regression equations were developed for estimating thawing time as function of significant parameters. Predictive equations were validated experimentally.
