Prediction of Kinetic Parameters for Food Quality Changes Using Equivalent Time at Standard Temperature

  • Chapter
Developments in Food Engineering

Abstract

The effectiveness of three different numerical methods has been assessed for the estimation of kinetic parameters from literatural and experimental data. Generalized one step procedure using equivalent time, which provides a method for converting any variable temperature history to equivalent time at specified reference temperature, gave the smallest sum of squares for error and 6∼15 times faster computing rate than those estimated by the conventional one step method.
