Studies on Analysis of Critical Factors in Thermal Processing Chili Con Carne in A Steam Retort

Kirubanandan Shanmugam

Abstract


Thermal Processing of Chili con carne has been carried out in steam retort to evaluate the critical parameters usually that affect the performance of the thermal process. It is necessary to investigate the effect of critical factors such as headspace and fill temperature on steam retorting of chili and beans in the can and will be used to design the optimum operation. The process lethality for all these cans is found by General’s method and Ball’s method. Further, the heat penetration studies of all these cans have been investigated and then fh and Jh are determined for all these cans with various headspace and fill temperatures. The can which has the lowest F cum value is the coldest can (can #2) and it has the highest fh value (37.45318) among all other cans. Similarly, the can which has the highest F cum value is the hottest can (can #1) and it has the least fh value (29.67359) among all other cans. Due to the coldness and hotness of these cans, the heat rating index (fh) is increased for the coldest can and decreased for the hottest can. However, in this investigation, the headspace and fill temperature strongly influence process lethality and heat penetration studies. The less headspace and low fill temperature in the can require high heating rating index(fh) whereas the high headspace and high fill temperature in the can require low heating rating index (fh). Further, it has been observed that there is a deviation between the experimental value Fcum and theoretical value from Ball’s method.
