Thermal properties of cooked beef as affected by vacuum cooling and conventional cooling.

Author(s) : SUN D. W., MCDONALD K.

Summary

Four cooling methods, i.e. vacuum cooling, air blast cooling, immersion cooling and cold storage, were used to cool cooked beef. The thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal diffusivity of the cooled samples were determined and the data were compared with the uncooled sample. These properties were significantly affected by loss of moisture due to the cooling treatment, particularly vacuum cooled samples, which had lower thermal conductivity, specific heat and thermal diffusivity than all other treatments as a direct result of high moisture loss due to the cooling method.
