Ohmic Heating

Principle of ohmic heating electric current is passed through foods heating occurs in the form of internal energy generation within the material temperature rise throughout its volume rapid and uniform heating HIGH TEMPERATURE SHORT TIME (HTST) PROCESSES Fig. 1 Principle of ohmic heating

THE CONCEPT OF OHMIC HEATING Based on the passage of alternating electrical current through a food product that serves as an electrical resistance. The electrical power introduced into the product is translated into heat. The electrical currents passed along or across the flowing fluid.

GENERATE HEAT IN SITU PASSAGE OF ELECTRIC CURRENT: Electric resistance of material: heat by P= I2R A commercial process and some proposed processes Need to model and control the system- study stationary food mixtures

Microwave Heating Heating system less time at lower cost get more product Heating system Microwave penetrate a food and heating extends with in the entire food material Rate of heating is therefore more rapid

Ionic Polarization Electrical field is applied to food solution containing ions, and ion move at an accelerated pace due to their in herent charge the resulting collisions between the ions

Dipole Rotation Polar molecule Such as water Molecule have a random orientation when an electric field is applied the molecules orient themselves according to the polarity of the field

Penetration Depth of Microwave Distribution of energy within a material is determined by α’ follow

Penetration Depth of Microwave Field penetration depth (Z)

Application of Microwave Dehydration Freeze drying Processing of meat & meat product Blanching Thawing Pasteurization and Sterilization

Induction Heating

The Concept Of Induction Heating When an electrically conductive material is placed in a varying magnetic field

Basic Induction Heating Rapid heating rate 125 C /s

Induction Heating Application Systems coils within the bottom of the rice cooker create the magnetic field. When the inner nonstick aluminum cooking pan with stainless steel outer lining is placed into the rice cooker and the unit is activated, a magnetic field is generated to create instant heat.

Application

Induction Heating system Rice Cooker Induction technology heats the entire nonstick inner pan for consistent.
