Prediction of food chilling rates with time-variable cooling medium temperature.

Author(s) : CLELAND D. J., DAVEY L. M.

Summary

Multistage processes involving step changes in cooling conditions are often used for chilling of foods. Use of the predicted mass-average temperature at the end of each stage as the initial temperature for the next stage is proposed as the basis of a simple prediction method for such processes. For pratical two-stage applications involving step changes in cooling medium temperature, the proposed method performs adequately relative to the exact solution given by Duhamel's theorem.
