Novel refrigerated preservation performance indicator based on predictive microbiology and product time-temperature data, an essential tool to reach zero food waste

ABSTRACTThis study evaluates the performance of residential refrigerators, the worst cold chain point. Cooked ham temperature was used to quantify their performance as affected by compressor technology (single speed, SS/variable speed, VS), ambient temperature (21.1°C, LT/32.2°C, HT), load (22.5 kg,...
