Cryoconcentration for improved flavour
Cryoconcentration is a relatively new food technology which consists in transforming milk, fruit or vegetable juices into a sorbet, before removing water ice crystals in order to obtain a highly flavoured concentrate.
Food cold chain optimisation
An Australian report focuses on the improvement of temperature monitoring in the food cold chain to enhance energy productivity.
Food processing: a priority sector for India
India’s food minister believes that with a better supply chain, the country could be a global food processing powerhouse.
Earth-to-air heat exchanger for air conditioning in a Colombian tropical weather
In a recent theoretical study, a passive cooling system using an earth-to-air heat exchanger (EAHE) was modelled for the Colombian tropical weather.
Newly revised efficiency standards for ACs in Brazil and India
Stringent minimum energy performance standards (MEPS) for air-conditioning (AC) equipment contribute to cutting down the energy demand for ACs globally. Setting up and periodically revising energy efficiency...
Study finds ice cream colder that it needs to be
