The freezing curves for sausages, mortadela and
MDMC are shown in Figures 1, 2 and 3,
respectively. Only SL3 and M2 curves are shown as
results were similar among products. Figure 1 shows
five freezing curves obtained from the four
temperature sensors placed into the product and the
sensor placed outside of the product in order to
measure the temperature inside the freezing tunnel.
Two thermocouples were placed in external layers,
and the other two in the internal layers of product.
The data from thermocouple marked as ‘Tunnel’ in
Figure 1 is the temperature profile for the freezing
tunnel during the experiment. It was observed a
constant behavior for the temperature inside the
tunnel with time.
