TTIs - exploiting LINK Gary Tucker was invited to present to the Advanced Food Manufacturing LINK committee on the successful exploitation of two time-temperature integrator (TTI) LINK projects. The group from the project team also included Professor Peter Fryer and Karin Mehauden (Birmingham University) and Gary Mycock (Unilever). The project team emphasised how the projects were able to apply TTIs to tackle real industrial problems in measuring heat processes, while undertaking high quality science in proving the TTI principles. Examples were given for cost savings in reduced energy needs and in increased production efficiency. Key reasons why these projects were so successful were the strong industrial partners, creative researchers who knew what each partner wanted from the project, and of course an excellent idea in the TTIs themselves.
