Summary

Rapid chilling and freezing has become enormously important over the last few years. Cases of Salmonella and food poisoning which have occurred are increasing the demand for better and more efficient refrigeration procedures. This demand has not arisen because the people in the food chain are getting less particular about the hygiene regulations but because there is an increasing changeover to refrigerated storage and to longer-term storage. The reasons for this are associated with organisation and profitability. The advantage of this is a better financial result, better quality and a more attractively finished product. For this, however, a whole lot of requirements are imposed. These requirements are discussed in the article.
