Shelf-stable food (sometimes ambient food) is food of a type that can be safely stored at room temperature in a sealed container. This includes foods that would normally be stored refrigerated , but which have been processed so that they can be safely stored at room or ambient temperature for a usefully long shelf life .
Joseph Dombey, in a letter written from Lima on May 20, 1779, specifies the ancestral way used by the Peruvians to prepare potatoes that constitute, with corn, their only food and that they carry in a haversack during their long journeys: the potato is cooked in water, then peeled and exposed to the wind and the sun until it is completely dry, which allows to preserve it "several centuries, by ...
The dew point of a given body of air is the temperature to which it must be cooled to become saturated with water vapor. This temperature depends on the pressure and water content of the air. When the air is cooled below the dew point, its moisture capacity is reduced and airborne water vapor will condense to form liquid water known as dew. [ 1]
T 0 = original temperature, T R = ambient temperature, t = time. In 1701, Isaac Newton anonymously published an article in Philosophical Transactions noting (in modern terms) that the rate of temperature change of a body is proportional to the difference in temperatures (graduum caloris, "degrees of heat") between the body and its surroundings ...
Optimum storage of sweet potatoes occurs at 12–16 °C (54–61 °F) and 85–90% relative humidity (RH) and requires proper ventilation to remove excess carbon dioxide (CO 2) and bring in oxygen ( O 2) for respiration. [ 3] At these conditions sweet potatoes have been shown to last 5 months to a maximum of a year compared to 2–3 months ...
Potatoes grow best under temperate conditions. [158] Temperatures above 30 °C (86 °F) have negative effects on potato crops, from physiological damage such as brown spots on tubers, to slower growth, premature sprouting, and lower starch content. [159] These effects reduce crop yield, affecting both the number and the weight of tubers.
The wet-bulb temperature is the lowest temperature that may be achieved by evaporative cooling of a water-wetted, ventilated surface.. By contrast, the dew point is the temperature to which the ambient air must be cooled to reach 100% relative humidity assuming there is no further evaporation into the air; it is the temperature where condensation (dew) and clouds would form.
Flex temp. Flex temp is a technique used to produce cost savings through increased engine life and reduced overhaul and fuel costs [ 1] for airliners by allowing them to take-off at less than rated thrust. [ 2] For Airbus and Fokker aircraft the technique is known as flex temp or just flex. Other manufacturers use the terms Assumed temperature ...
