Résumé

Bio-based phase change materials (BPCMs) derived from agro-industrial residues represent an ecofriendly alternative for refrigeration applications. In this work, a BPCM was obtained by steam extraction from avocado seed and studied as a suitable cold thermal energy storage system. First, differential scanning calorimetry was used to determine that the solid-liquid phase transition occurred from -27°C to 15°C. This temperature range is of interest for the conservation different food products. The study aimed to determine the best distribution of the material, which was stored in plastic packaging bags, and placed in an insulated polystyrene thermal container. Two configurations were evaluated: (i) four bags of 75 mL, (ii) two bags of 75 mL and one of 150 mL. The temperatures of the avocado seed oil, and of the air inside the container, were measured during 6 to 8 h. It was concluded that, despite working with the same amount of avocado seed oil (300 mL) in different experiments, there was a better performance when the same volume of material was distributed in each wall. Furthermore, the utilization of avocado seed oil allowed to maintain low temperatures, suitable for food preservation during two additional hours. In the same way, in a yogurt storage experimentation of 8 h, the utilization of the avocado oil enhanced the temperature preservation by 6°C on the phase change range from 4°C to 14°C. While compared to water, the temperature difference was evaluated showing a good performance of the BPCM and an important stability on the temperature heating rate.
