Studies on Transportation of Cream Cheese

Abstract

This paper describes the possibility of transport in cream cheese by way of a dry container truck in summertime using an adiabatic container, refrigerant and an adiabatic sheet. The adiabatic container consists of a small scale collapsible box and shows 3. 7 to 5. 6 times the overall coefficient of heat transfer in comparison with that of the large one. The experimental results are shown that the freezing point and the latent heat of melting for the refrigerant are almost the same values as the pure water, respectively. It is difficult to keep the cream cheese temperature under 8°C (The initial temperature is 0°C) after keeping 24 hrs only using the adiabatic container, however, it can be controlled within the 8°C by changing the outer package (from a corrugated fiberbord box to a foam polystyrene box) and using the adiabatic container with the refrigerant and the adiabatic sheet. The experimental results confirm that it can be controlled to the desirable temperature for the cream cheese using an efficient container, outer package, refrigerant and sheet in the adiabatic properties.
