In this section, freezing times obtained using some of the more relevant prediction methods are compare with each other and with existing experimental values.
First we use the results obtained by three research groups that have used the same model food (Tylose), and compare their experimental values with those obtained using five different predicting approaches.
In a similar way we will compare published results for four real foods (lean beef, mashed potatoes, fish and ground beef, Hung & Thompson, 1983) with those calculated from nine different approaches.
