Accelerated Curing of Concrete

Accelerated Curing of Concrete

Accelerating concrete curing is achieved by applying heat and additional moisture. This process accelerates the hydration of the cement, resulting in an earlier strength gain in the concrete. Steam curing is a method wherein the concrete products are either transported through a chamber on a conveyor belt or encased in plastic, allowing steam at atmospheric pressure to circulate freely around them. This process begins with a phase of moist curing that typically lasts between 3 to 5 hours, after...

Physical Methods for Controlling Microbial Growth: Temperature

Physical Methods for Controlling Microbial Growth: Temperature

Heat is a widely used method to control microbial growth by targeting and denaturing cellular proteins, thereby killing or inactivating microbes. This method's effectiveness is quantified using parameters such as the thermal death point (TDP), thermal death time (TDT), and decimal reduction time (D value). TDP represents the lowest temperature at which all microorganisms in a liquid suspension are eliminated within 10 minutes, whereas TDT is the time necessary to achieve sterilization at a...

Background:

Conventional food preservation methods can negatively impact organoleptic qualities.
Maintaining food safety and quality is crucial for public health.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop and evaluate a novel food preservation technique using ultra-high temperature flash heating.
To assess the impact of this method on microbial inactivation and food quality.

Main Methods:

Applying high electric power to a carbon substrate for rapid Joule heating (<1 second) to over 2000 K.
Treating the surface of beef with ultra-high temperature flash heating to create a ~100 µm inactivated layer.

Main Results:

Microbial inactivation of aerobic mesophilic bacteria, Enterobacteriaceae, yeast, and mold to below detection limits.
Preservation of beef's visual appearance, texture, and nutrient levels over 5 days of room temperature storage.
Significant reduction in microbial growth and quality deterioration compared to untreated controls.

Conclusions:

Ultra-high temperature flash heating is a promising technology for enhancing food safety and quality.
This surface treatment method effectively inactivates microbes while preserving the overall characteristics of beef.
The technique offers a potential alternative to conventional preservation methods.
