Study Notes
Introduction to Food Physics - Geometric Properties - Size and Shape
- Geometric properties of food materials are crucial in food technology for various applications, including heat and mass transfer calculations, screening of foreign materials, grading, and quality evaluation of fruits and vegetables.
Importance of Size and Shape
- Food size and shape are significant for various processes and applications.
- Size and shape influence heat and mass transfer during processes.
- They are also important in separating foreign materials, grading products, and evaluating food quality.
Shape
- Standard charts are used to describe food shapes.
- Sphericity and form factor are used to quantify shape.
Techniques to Measure Size
- Instruments used for measuring size include vernier calipers and micrometers.
- Image analysis techniques are also utilized to measure size and shape.
Equivalent Diameters
- Geometric equivalent diameters and physical equivalent diameters are calculated based on different properties (volume, surface area, etc.).
- These measurements are based on individual particles or bulk materials.
Specific Surface Area
- Specific surface area is an important property in various food processes.
- It is calculated to analyze particle size distributions.
Particle Size Distribution
- Particle size distributions (PSD) affect food properties.
- The hardness of grain plays a significant factor in the PSD of flour.
- PSD is a crucial factor in the quality of final products.
- Techniques such as sieving (using screens) are used to measure PSD.
Shrinkage
- Shrinkage is the decrease in volume during food processing, particularly during drying.
- A pressure imbalance between the inside and outside of the food drives the contraction.
- It impacts the drying rate due to its effect on the diffusion coefficient.
Sphericity: Volume Ratio
- Sphericity is a shape factor defined as the ratio of the volume of a solid sample to the volume of the circumscribed sphere (volume ratio method).
- The diameter of the circumscribed sphere equals the major diameter of the solid sample
Sphericity: Diameter Ratio
- Sphericity is calculated using a dimensionless ratio of any specified equivalent diameter.
- Dividing the specific equivalent diameter by the major diameter of the particle, resulting in a dimensionless value.
- This approach involves specifying the equivalent diameter to be used in calculations.
Image Analysis
- Techniques are used to analyze the images of particles.
- Arithmetic mean diameter and geometric mean diameter are calculated.
Form Factor - Definitions
- Form factors, depending on the sample type, can be defined by using different equivalent diameters, as listed in specific tables.
- This approach uses diameter as a metric for defining the factors, and each factor relates to particular definitions (listed in the provided tables).
- This approach includes determining the various equivalent diameters.
- These factors provide details of the shape and size parameters.
Roundness
- roundness is defined by the projection of the particle.
- There are different roundness factors which can be used to quantify the roundness (based on an example provided in the OCR).
Exercises
- Calculation exercises provided to demonstrate calculation of different forms of equivalent diameters and sphericity, depending on the shape and type.
- These exercises involve calculating equivalent diameters for hypothetical shapes, as well as determining sphericity based on different methods.
