Hello everyone.
For corrective action and related purposes i have been tasked with deciding whether there was a risk or not in the product during transport.
We are carrying frozen chicken meat in refrigerated trucks
Intended procedure is;
-Initial internal temperature of the meat <-18 degree C
-Ambient temperature of the truck <-18 degree C
-Acceptable internal temperature of the meat <-15 degree C
-Transport duration varies.
So, would it be appropriate for us to use Newton's Law of cooling to decide the temperature of the product for a duration of X amount of time makes the internal temperature below -15 ?
Can i use any constant in this situation without carrying out a simulation representing the conditions, such as data from blast freezing of the product?
