    ICRS/DS: A Computer Package for the Optimization of Batch Processes and its Applications in Food Processing

    As the food industry is largely batch-oriented, many optimization problems in food engineering are actually optimal control problems. A computer package, ICRS/DS (Integrated Controlled Random Search for Dynami...

    Different Strategies for Controlling Pressure during the Cooling Stage in Batch Retorts

    A new strategy for controlling pressure and liquid level during the cooling stage of the sterilization process in steam retorts is presented. That situation, where valves dynamics are not negligiable is consid...
