Sauce of inspiration.

Auteurs : WILLIAMS M.

Résumé

The symposium paper describes the inspiration behind `Cryogenic Vacuum Chilling', a novel process for rapidly chilling liquids and sauces. Most existing liquid chillers use convective heat transfer techniques. A common limitation in the processing speed is that as the temperature of the sauce becomes close to that of the coolant, the cooling rate falls dramatically. Liquid nitrogen has a temperature of -196 °C, and harnessing the cold temperature for freezing food is well established. Adapting the same equipment for chilling liquids however presents problems in preventing freezing from overcooling. In evaluating a solution, it was recognised that matching heat transfer coefficients of boiling nitrogen to coefficients elsewhere in the system was the key to preventing freezing whilst maintaining cooling speed. A new technique was developed using evaporative cooling and condensation, similar in speed to the vacuum chilling method already familiar to the industry.
