Popis: Heat penetration to cans of mussels in brine processed in an agitating retort was studied. The heating lag factor, j, and the time for the heating curve to traverse a log cycle, fh, as a function of the rotational speed, the headspace presence, and the come-up time were determined. Heat penetration rates increased with end-over-end rotation at low rotational speeds. The presence of headspace produced significant improvements in heat penetration. Transient temperature profiles for this product were relatively short; therefore, improvements in heat penetration would only be significant when retort come-up times are short.
