Temperature sensor placement errors in institutional size retort pouches

1985

Peterson, Wayne R. | Adams, J.P.

A study examined the sensitivity of process time to the position of temperature measurement in the conduction-heating of low-acid foods processed in institutional-size retort pouches. It also assessed the allowable error in temperature measurement position that would not significantly affect processing time, using numerical techniques. Positioning was found to be not critical when the temperature sensing probe was in the order of 0.32 cm around the pouch center, resulting in a relatively constant processing time. (wz)
