EVITHERM WORK 2004 : FOOD A. RAEMY Nestlé Research Centre Nestec LTD CH- 1000 Lausanne 26 Switzerland According to the request of Joachim Fischer, PTB, Berlin
Evitherm 2004: data main requirements (1) • Specific heats of foods and some non food materials (mainly packaging and process materials such as stainless steel, copper, polymers,…) • Glass transition temperatures which are abrupt changes in specific heats • Thermal conductivity • Basics of thermometry NRC/FS - ARY
Evitherm 2004: data main requirements (2) • Phase transition (melting,…) temperatures • Reaction (oxidation, Maillard,…) onset temperatures • Transition and reaction enthalpy values • Enthalpies normed at –60°C • Data in relation with process safety (self-ignition temperatures under specific conditions,…) NRC/FS - ARY
Evitherm 2004: data main requirements (3) • Information has to be presented as: - tables - graphs - phase diagrams • Some formulas are necessary: - Q = m c ΔT - Fourier equation NRC/FS - ARY

Evitherm 2004: special remarks • It is difficult to have scientific contacts with small food companies • To distribute thermal information in small companies, the best persons would be: - Pierre Le Parlouër, Thermal Consulting, Caluire (F) - dedicated small companies - interested university professors NRC/FS - ARY
First approach: Specific heat (Cp) of foods Theoretical calculations Experimental determination Literature
Evitherm 2004: Specific heat Q = m c T [Q] = J or W s [m] = g (or kg) [c] = J / g °C (or J/kg °C) T = °C or K • General formula is: NRC/FS - ARY
Evitherm 2004: Specific heat • Theoretical calculation Food composition has to be known. Specific heat at ambient temperature of the food is obtained by proportional addition of the specific heat of each food constituent (water, carbohydrate, lipid, protein, ashes). NRC/FS - ARY
Evitherm-2004: Specific heat • Theoretical calculation Specific heat of food constituents [1] - For water: 4.18 J/g • For carbohydrate: 1.42 J/g • For lipid: 1.67 J/g (somewhat low) • For protein: 1.55 J/g • For ashes: 0.84 J/g • For ice: 2.11 J/g [1] V. Gekkas, Transport phenomena of foods and biological materials, CRC Press, Boca Raton,1992. NRC/FS - ARY
Evitherm 2004: Specific heat • Remarks - Specific heats of solids increase with increasing temperatureV. Gekas gives the caracteristic parameters of a quadratic equation describing this effect - Specific heat of water does practically not change between 0°C and 100°C - Specific heat depends strongly on the water content of the considered product - Some non-food specific heat values are also of interest (copper, stainless steel, aluminium,…). NRC/FS - ARY
Evitherm 2004: Specific heat • Experimental determination Calorimetric or DSC measurements allow to determine food specific heats at the temperature of interest. • Normally 3 measurements are necessary: • Reference material, usually synthetic sapphire • Empty cell • Sample cell NRC/FS - ARY
Evitherm 2004: Specific heat NRC/FS - ARY
Evitherm 2004: Specific heat • Formula is: where m1 isthe mass of the standard substance, m2 is the sample mass, C1 is the specific heat of the standard substance, and Q0, Q1 and Q2 are the required heat quantities for the empty cell, the standard substance and the sample, respectively. Remark: modern instrumentation has quicker methods but this is the most precise. NRC/FS - ARY
Evitherm 2004: Specific heat • Remarks: • Specific heat is generally determined at temperatures where the sample present no phase transitions • Glass transition phenomena are sometimes presented in the specific heat determination • Thermal conductivity is often found in the literature indicating specific heat.
