ABSTRACT Three 65° Brix low‐pulp concentrated orange juice (COJ) samples, between −19 and 30°C were shear‐thinning (pseudoplastic) fluids with negligible magnitudes of yield stress. The simple power law model fit welt the shear rate‐shear stress data. For one sample, Powell‐Eyring also described data well. Arrhenius effect temperature on apparent viscosity consistency index model. activation energy flow (E a ) was 10.7 ± 0.2 kcal/g mole. models Harper El Sahrigi Christiansen Craig suitable...
ABSTRACT Flow behavior of guava puree was determined with a tube viscometer. The samples (9.8‐16.0° Brix) exhibited shear‐thinning behavior. flow index the power law model nearly constant for all over temperature range 25‐60°C; its mean value 0.43 standard deviation 0.031. apparent viscosity decreased increase in and activation energy offlow found to be 3.7 kcallg mole. increased as concentration purees increased; proportional raised 2.7. Mizrahi‐Berk described well data purees. magnitude...
ABSTRACT 65° Brix serum samples from four concentrated orange juice (COJ) samples, between ‐19 and 30°C, were mildy shear‐thinning fluids with negligible yield stress. The power law model described well the flow data. For one sample, Powell‐Eyring also activation energy of (E a ) for was 11.2–13.6 kcal/gmole. parameters determined 65°Brix sample as function pulp content (0–11%) −19 30°C. At fixed temperature, apparent viscosity consistency index increased exponentially content. E decreased...
In the present study, Coffea arabica was artificially contaminated with spores of toxigenic Aspergillus westerdijkiae. The coffee roasted in a vertical spouted bed roaster at four different temperatures (180 °C, 200 220 °C and 240 °C) three time periods (5, 8 12 min), order to obtain more accurate results for development kinetic model ochratoxin A (OTA). Chlorogenic acids (CGA) content during roasting also evaluated investigate effect heat employed destroy OTA these health promoting...
Thermal processing is still the most important method to ensure food safety, however, there a need for further improvements, from basic data advanced optimization methods. Due competitive market, customer demands and environmental concerns, several challenges have been raised. In this review, some topics are discussed, including inactivation kinetics, engineering properties, process design control, packaging systems regulatory, environmental, economic aspects. This position paper describes...
ABSTRACT Performance of thermal process simulation software was tested for predicting internal product temperature and lethality. Responses were deviations on canned products with a wide range heating characteristics computer‐based on‐line control retorts. Static agitated processes exhibiting rate factors (fh) ranging from 2 to 70 min. Cans fitted thermocouples subjected various types. Center profiles lethalities predicted by the model in response dynamic retort temperatures compared those...
The rheological behavior of an aqueous solution composed 65% sucrose and 0.1% CMC was experimentally determined from ‐10C to 50C using a rotational viscometer equipped with coaxial cylinders. model behaved as pseudoplastic fluid, represented by the power‐law model.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi recuperar e fracionar as proteínas do soro de leite por meio da técnica coacervação, utilizando o polissacarídeo carboximetilcelulose sódica (CMC). obtido fabricação industrial queijo tipo frescal. Foram estudados concentrações polímero (0,1% a 0,9% CMC p/v) valores pH, fim se obter uma precipitação seletiva das leite, sendo condições otimizadas para produção em piloto. Mediante ajuste gradual, possível obter, no pH 3, totais (PT/CMC); 4, beta-lactoglobulina...
The operation named venting is a step in the sterilization process retorts using steam pressure. It intended to remove all air from inside of equipment by injecting steam. Although only for short period time, great quantities are used, making an expensive operation. This study aimed evaluate alternative with reduction energy expenditure. A system was adapted and instrumented, which allowed phenomenon water displacement. methodology proposed shown be promising efficient empty retort no load....
ABSTRACT The consumption of electricity and thermal energy for frozen concentrated orange juice (FCOJ) citrus pulp pellets (CPP) was determined in a plant. Thermal accounted 90% the total plant its CPP exceeded that FCOJ. kilocalories per kg water evaporated (KKWE) evaporators increased as feed rate single strength decreased. At design evaporation capacity, steam efficiency two tubular plate found to be 0.85N 0.82N, respectively; N being number effects evaporator. Fouling waste heat...
Abstract Thermal process design, optimization, and deviation require the knowledge of engineering properties food, such as rheological behavior, which is highly dependent on temperature. If a calculated based parameters obtained by extrapolation, it might lead to over‐ or underprocessing. The long time required for product reach desired temperature, usual in many rheometers, may induce unexpected changes product. Model solutions are often used projects order simulate characteristics real...
ABSTRACT Steam consumption for a water blancher and continuous pressure sterilizer (CPS) was measured in snap bean cannery. For the blancher, it ranged between 0.204 0.306 lb/lb of beans. The energy efficiency found to be 26.3–52.3%. In pilot scale test, concentration Ca, Mg, K ions increased as blanching recycled firmness beans after canning varied 0.855 1.010 kN. by CPS related linearly loading rate cans: steam consumed (lb/hr) = 1075.9 + 0.073 × (cans/hr).
