Abstract | The final stage of the BUGDEATH project (James and Evans, 2005) was to further develop the surface heating and cooling apparatus so it would be suitable for commercial exploitation. The new apparatus can be accommodated on a bench top and produces faster more uniform heating and cooling cycles than that previously described. It can heat the surface of a food from 8 to 120 °C in 14 s, cool from 120 to 40 °C in 28 s and then to 8 °C in 5 min. There is an average control error of approximately ±1 °C and a temperature variation over the surface of the sample of only 1.2 °C. Wet heating, using steam at 100 °C, was achieved using a portable steam generator. The price of the parts which made up the apparatus were approximately €10 000 and it takes approximately two person-weeks to build. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. |
