Improving process safety with CTemp

CTemp is a computer program for calculating food internal temperatures during heat processing. Used for establishing safe processing conditions and in-process optimisation, its value to the heat preserved foods sector is illustrated by the release of Version 10. Specifically, CTemp can be used to predict temperatures for any inpack product, optimise processes, analyse process deviations, and efficiently set retort times and temperatures.Version 10 includes the capability to calculate a broken heating curve with a break point at 0°C. Surface F and C values are calculated and displayed, and log reduction calculations have been added for various food safety and spoilage microorganisms of relevance to the selected product/food type.

CTemp can be used on a full range of combinations of product, package and process. It can be applied to various types of retorts, pasteurisers and ovens used for sterilisation and pasteurisation processes.Training courses are also available on using the software, tailored to the specific needs of the user.
