Notes:
The rotational performance of ETP (electro-tin-plated) and TFS (tin-free-steel) cans was studied in pilot and commercial cookers, and in a cooker simulator. TFS cans rotated less than ETP cans in both commercial and pilot cookers. Commercial cookers showed less can rotations than corresponding pilot scale experiments. The simulator predicted an exponential decay in lethality with decreased can rpm. Polymer coated cans conditioned the cooker surface and the extent depended on contact time. Heat transfer depended on can rotation and could be predicted with a suitable correlation. The correlation was used to predict lethality performance as well as exit temperature of processed foods.
