Estrapolazioni di Simulazioni di laboratorio alle condizioni di Sterilizzazione Termica per Prodotti alimentari Confezionati

A mechod of simulation of sterilisation process for packed foods is shown. The simplicity of this method allows its application in laboratory for tfie individuation of the best parametets for industriai processes. A datalogger connected with a personal conn- puter was used in order to acquire the time- temperature data and to transfer them to an electronic sheet. The monitoring system resulted effective in recording the time-temperature data also in industnal processing. The thermic diffusivity values, obtained from the mathematical elaboration of the experi- mental time-temperature data, were used to simulate with suffident approximadon che thermic effect on heat-treated products
