Summary

Total freezing time calculations were carried out by considering two partial times; the precooling, corresponding to the time from the initial temperature to the initial solidification temperature, and the tempering, from the initial solidification temperature to the final temperature. The samples having a slab geometry were the Karlsruhe Test Substance (methyl cellulose gel) and different kinds of meats. The accuracy obtained makes this method valuable enough for many practical uses in freezing time calculations of foods.
