Predictive equations for thermophysical properties and enthalpy during cooling and freezing of food materials.

Author(s) : FIKIIN K. A., FIKIIN A. G.

Summary

Information on thermophysical properties is necessary to predict the microbiology and biochemistry of spoilage and to control the product safety and quality, as well as for the design of refrigeration systems in the food industries. The purpose of the paper is to present reliable unified equations for determination of the specific heat capacity, enthalpy, thermal conductivity, Kirchhoff function, etc. on the basis of generalized parameters (moisture content, actual and initial freezing temperatures). The equations may easily be used for both simple and rapid engineering calculations and for implementation in more sophisticated mathematical models and computer software.
