RETORT
The laboratory contains equipment to develop new food products, study heat
exchangers, sterilize liquids (e.g., milk), measure processing time and temperature variables, measure reflected or transmitted color of
products, and a variety of other equipment to work with raw or processed food products. The laboratory provides
facilities where students can become familiar with modern processing techniques and processes and where they can
experience the effects of processing variables on food properties, appearance, taste, nutrition and safety. The
laboratory also supports the Department of Biological Resources Engineering's research and extension
programs in food
engineering and programs in food processing of the Department of Nutrition and Food Science.
