Rendered products: thermal conductivity model

Abstract: The rendering industry is committed to processing animal and poultry by-products to produce microbiologically safe finished products. Heat processing of food materials has been well studied using heat penetration data to establish thermal death time values for heat resistant microorganisms. This information has been used extensively in the canned food industry to ensure food … Continued
