Abstract(s)
Optimal sterilization temperatures, for maximum surface quality retention, were calculated as a function of : (I)product propertles (thermal diffusivity and z.value) (II) processlng conditions Igeometry and
dlmensions of the food, surface heat transfer coefficient, initial product
temperature and retort come up time) and z-value (III) processing criteria (target-
Fo.value). From this theoretical study generalized empirical relations
relating optimal temperatures and all relevant variables were formulated
and presented. Applications in classical canning are lllustrated in detail.
