A retail store, especially a grocery store, has a high energy density due to decorative illumination and refrigerated cabinets. The purpose of this paper is to measure and analyse energy consumption of a grocery store and develop an energy demand model. The measurement revealed that energy consumption of refrigeration accounts for 60% of the total consumption and an air leakage has an effect on...

The aim of this research was to determine the decimal reduction times of bacteria present on chicken fillet in boiling water. The experiments were conducted with Campylobacter jejuni, Salmonella, and Escherichia coli. Whole chicken breast fillets were inoculated with the pathogens, stored overnight (4°C), and subsequently cooked. The surface temperature reached 70°C within 30 sec and 85°C withi...

Refrigerated display cabinets as a type of cooling system is preferable commonly in food shops and grocery store to prevent foods from warm air. They do not have much more efficient compared the with glass doors because interactions between air curtain. This paper presents experimental numerical methods seek energy performance horizontal refrigerated terms design parameters. Two geometry with/w...

This paper studies the frozen pork transportation in short and long distances, loss of cooling capacity energy consumption cold chain are analyzed experimentally numerically. It finds that material for freezer insulation plays important role saving during refrigerated transportation, an optimal can reduce temperature rise by 13.88% heat flow 71.05% compared with traditional ones. A fractal mode...

We have evaluated the effects of the following on ion.specific electrode measurement of calcium ion activity in plasma: blood or plasma was stored in various ways for various periods of time, or exposed to air, or small amounts of heparin were added to the blood. Blood may be stored for as long as 120mm at room temperature before calcium ion activitychanges measurably, but plasma stored for 20 ...

Temperature-sensitive labels are adhesive tags that display color changes at preset temperatures. There have been no studies of the suitability of this technology for measuring the temperature of blood components during transportation and storage. We used a digital thermometer to measure temperature in different locations inside containers of RBC as they were allowed to warm to ambient temperat...

Coagulase positive staphylococci are generally difficult to grow in foodstuffs without substantial temperature abuse and foodborne outbreaks are uncommon. The following incident resulted in the first detection of staphylococcal enterotoxin in food in a Queensland outbreak and is the first reported outbreak of staphylococcal foodborne illness in Queensland since 1997 when 42 people in a Bundaber...
