Summary

Bacon has to be tempered (part-frozen) before it can be sliced in a high-speed slicing operation. Traditionally, the desired slicing temperature was achieved in a long single-stage process. Increasingly, a two-stage process of heat removal followed by temperature equalization is used to reduce processing time and weight loss. The objectives of the work described in this paper were: to provide practical design data for a two-stage bacon-slicing operation; to provide data that could be used in the development and verification of a model that would help optimize current and new tempering systems.
