CTemp version 8.0 CTemp is a computer program for calculating temperatures in heat processed foods. Used for establishing safe processing conditions and in process optimisation, its value to the heat preserved foods sector was illustrated by the release of Version 8.0. Specifically, CTemp can be used to predict temperatures for any in-pack product, optimise processes (e.g. to minimise browning or maximise nutrient retention), analyse process deviations, and efficiently set retort times and temperatures. New Excel routines were incorporated to improve data presentation. The software has been thoroughly tested on combinations of product, package and process. This includes fruits, vegetables, meats, fish, pasta, sauces, pastes, petfoods and rice in cans, glass jars, pouches or trays. It covers steam, steam/air, water immersion, raining water and water spray systems, static and rotary retorts and hydrostatic and reel and spiral cookers, for sterilisation and pasteurisation processes.
