Raw material selection- fruits and Ⅴ egetables L. Bedford, Campden and Chorleywood Food Research Association 1.1 Introduction Fresh fruits and vegetables are utilised in a wide range of chilled products. They may be sold whole, or peeled (for example peeled potatoes and onions)or further prepared(e.g. carrot batons). After washing or further preparation they form ingredients for mixes such as mixed fruit or salad packs or for further

The only difference between a fat and an edible oil is that at ambient temperature a fat is semi-solid, and appears more or less firm to the touch, and an oil is liquid. They are both of similar general chemical composition. Edible oils are completely different in chemical form to mineral oils that are used as fuels or for lubrication. Most mineral oils are hazardous to human health and should not be even a small

Sucrose is a medium sized molecule, known as a dissacharide (composed of a unit of dextrose plus a unit of fructose). It is derived from sugar cane or sugar beet which has been refined and crystallised from a concentrated solution. The term sugar is commonly used to refer to sucrose. It is by far the most commonly used type of sugar in the biscuit industry

Now consider the case of compressive loads and the instability they can cause. Consider only static instabilities (static loading as opposed to dynamic loading [ e.g., flutter) From Unified, defined instability via a system becomes unstable when a negative stiffness overcomes

We have thus far looked at In-plane loads torsional loads In addition, structures can carry loads by bending. The 2-D case is a plate, the simple 1-d case is a beam. Let's first review what you learned in Unified as Simple Beam Theory

The logical extension of discrete mass systems is one of an infinite number of masses. In the limit, this is a continuous system. Take the generalized beam-column as a generic representation:
