Summary

Simple relationships were found for predicting the enthalpy-temperature curve of foods over the range from -40 to +40 deg C from composition data, using Schwartzberg's bound water model. The specific heats above and below freezing were found by adding the component specific heats, while empirical equations were used to calculate freezing point and bound water content.
