steam generator
(OP)
I have to use steam to pasteurize meat (red as beef or white as chicken).
I know the mass of the meat.
How can i calculate the flow of the steam (kg/sec) ?
What kind of steam generator do i have to use ?
Is there any book out there about practical problems in food industry ?
Thank you,
Nektarios

RE: steam generator
It seems to me that you must provide us with more data. Most importantly, at what temperature do you plan to pasteurize the meats? And for what period of time?
Are you talking about canned meats? If so, they must first be pressure canned and then subjected to temperatures in the range of 240-250°F (116-121°C).
If you are not talking of canned meats, then the meats probably require being subjected to about the same temperatures of 240-250°F (116-121°C) ... and that will probably partially cook them.
You should do a Google search to look for more information and reference books.

RE: steam generator
The problem is that i don't know enough. :)
I am searching in a dark room!
If anyone can provide more data please do.
RE: steam generator
Out of curiosity, do you mix the meat up as you are heating it? That would allow quicker times.
