COUPLED PROBLEMS 2013, held in Ibiza, Spain,
17-19 June 2013Food processes are coupled systems that involve heat, mass and momentum
transfer together with kinetic processes related to quality and safety. This work is devoted
to illustrate how model-based techniques o er the possibility to rationally optimise processes
even in real time. The contribution is mainly based on our group experience and
illustrates concepts with several examples such as the refrigeration of fruits, the deep-fat
frying of potato chips, the freeze-drying of dairy products and the thermal processing of
packaged foodsEU [CAFE FP7-KBBE-2007-1(212754)], Spanish Ministry of Science
