This unit procedure simulates a pasteurizer and calculates microorganism inactivation and food component degradation kinetics. The equipment is assumed to comprise three different heat exchangers, namely, a heater, a cooler and a regenerator - all operating in a countercurrent flow manner. The user has the option to include or exclude the regenerator from the setup.
None.
