COOLVAC Project
New applications for vacuum cooling in baked product stabilisation. Repercussions from their use on the quality and efficiency of products and processes
Participating entities:
- Siro Medina
Funding:
Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs, Industry and Competitiveness (CDTI), and co-financed by the European Union through the Ronda ERDF Fund 2014-2020 – Pluri-regional Operational Programme for Smart Growth.
Call for applications:
CDTI-PID 2015
Partial objectives
- To create complete product ranges by improving sensory quality characteristics when compared with existing products.
- To reduce energy consumption when compared with current cooling processes based on forced air and controlled temperatures.
- To reduce mould spore pollution during the cooling stage when compared with cooling processes based on either ambient temperature or forced air and controlled temperatures.
- Related to the above: to improve the product shelf life.
