چکیده انگلیسی
The fresh vegetable farm produce needs to be cooled after the harvest before the shipment and the sale. The cooling duration is very sensitive to several parameters: foodstuffs nature (size, weight, properties), harvest period, packaging shapes, climatic conditions … In this paper, experimental and numerical investigations focused on forced air-cooling and room cooling of fresh cauliflowers are presented. For this vegetable, the optimal storage conditions are 4-7 °C and 90-98% relative humidity. As cauliflower is a voluminous (15-20 cm diameter) and heavy vegetable (600 g to more than 2000 g), the cooling process lasts generally several hours (>10 h) in the case of conventional room cooling. In order to apprehend the cooling kinetics of these products, some experiments carried out on a laboratory experimental set-up and on industrial site are presented. A 1D numerical model is firstly implemented to predict the temperature field and the mass loss of a single product. Several heat transfer mechanisms occur at the surface: convection, evaporation and long-wavelength infrared radiation. Based on in-situ experiments during which product temperature, air temperature and hygrometry were monitored, a second model is developed to simultaneously determine the temperature and the mass loss of several products placed in conventional room cooling. Comparisons between simulations and experiments show relevant results.
