Why attend:
This seminar will discuss the latest developments in temperature measurement techniques for the food industry, an area that presents many technical challenges. In manufacturing terms, measurement is the first step in establishing control over the food process and ultimately safety, quality and efficiency. This seminar will share new methods of temperature measurement for food systems that have traditionally been difficult to measure, but for which new opportunities are being presented.

Areas that will be covered include:

• Novel methods of particle temperature sensing
• Time temperature integrators for inprocess measurement
• Food surface temperature measurement techniques
• Latest developments in miniature and remote temperature loggers
• Electrical, microwave and RFID temperature sensing
• Standardisation, calibration, traceability and uncertainty of measurement – what they mean to your results.

"Accurate and reliable temperature measurement is vital to assure food product and process safety, quality and efficiency. However, as food manufacturing becomes more complex, temperature measurement becomes more difficult. This might include new processing technologies (e.g. microwave, radio-frequency and electrical heating), large-scale continuous equipment (e.g. closed loop heat exchangers or aseptic systems), or complex food products (e.g. liquid-solid mixtures, small particulates or thin products). A number of new and innovative temperature measurement techniques have recently become available. This seminar will outline the most promising technologies for temperature measurement, illustrated with examples of successful applications in food processing."
