Finite difference modelling, incorporating a variable space network approximation, was used to study the freezing of carrot juice in cylindrical containers. Ambient temperatures ranged from -6.5 to -14.2 degrees C. The problem was formulated as a moving boundary to find the position of the hypothetical solid-liquid interface and the concentration at the centre. Experimental results obtained for the freezing of carrot juice were satisfactorily represented by the variable space network approximation technique, except for failure at the central positions. This failure was believed to be due to some simplifying assumptions such as constant thermophysical properties and a sharp interface, as well as possible experimental errors.

STATISTICAL PROCESS ANALYSIS IN BROILER FEED FORMULATION
ALTI, M; OZILGEN, M (Wiley, 1994-09-01)
Statistical analysis of broiler feed production was done with data obtained in an industrial plant in an attempt to characterise the causes of variations in feed composition. Analysis of the experimental data has shown that the feed conversion ratio (FCR) for broilers was between 1.8 and 2.5. This large range of observations were thought to be caused by the wide range of variations in the composition of the feeds. The major factor contributing to the variance of the feed compositions was the variance of the...
EFFECT OF CAN ARRANGEMENT ON TEMPERATURE DISTRIBUTION IN STILL RETORT STERILIZATION
SUMER, A; ESIN, A (Elsevier BV, 1992-01-01)
A general dynamic mathematical model was developed to predict the effect of can arrangement geometry on temperature distribution within cans in still retorts. For this purpose, the temperature variation in the cans was recorded for various can arrangements. Also, the influence of the physical properties of the material and the mechanism of heat transfer for heat penetration were studied. Experiments were carried out with water, peas in brine and tomato paste in no. 3 cans in an experimental vertical stil...
Investigation of dielectric properties of different cake formulations during microwave and infrared-microwave combination baking
Sakiyan, Ozge; Şümnü, Servet Gülüm; Sahin, Serpil; Meda, Venkatesh (Wiley, 2007-05-01)
Dielectric properties can be used to understand the behavior of food materials during microwave processing. Dielectric properties influence the level of interaction between food and high frequency electromagnetic energy. Dielectric properties are, therefore, important in the design of foods intended for microwave preparation. In this study, it was aimed to determine the variation of dielectric properties of different cake formulations during baking in microwave and infrared-microwave combination oven. In ad...
KINETIC COMPENSATION RELATIONS FOR ASCORBIC-ACID DEGRADATION AND PECTINESTERASE INACTIVATION DURING ORANGE JUICE PASTEURIZATION
ULGEN, N; OZILGEN, M (Wiley, 1991-01-01)
The thermal degradation kinetics of ascorbic acid and the inactivation kinetics of pectinesterase were studied experimentally with pH-adjusted orange juice. No simple trends were observed in variation of the kinetic parameters with pH, but both kinetic functions agreed with kinetic compensation relations. An isokinetic temperature was observed for ascorbic acid degradation at pH 2.5, 3.0, and 3.5 implying that the same degradation mechanism was valid at these pH values. A large deviation at pH 4.0 from t...
A new method to determine viscoelastic properties of corn grits during cooking and drying
Mert, Behiç; Campanella, Osvaldo H. (Elsevier BV, 2007-07-01)
The working principles and the theoretical background of a new method to measure the viscoelastic properties of grains during cooking and drying processes are presented. Specifically, corn grits at different processing stages of cooking and drying were chosen as the model grain and their viscoelastic characteristics, namely elastic stiffness and viscous damping, were determined. During the measurements grits were squeezed between a rigid bottom plate and a top round element oscillating at random frequencies...
