The physical food properties shall include thermal conductivity (ranges from 0.03 to 100 W/mK to cover/include frozen foods), thermal diffusivity, specific heat capacity, etc. with 5% accuracy and 2% repeatability. Sample size/shape is flexible which can accommodate almost any foods to be tested. The system uses Standard Software Module and requires Windows PC. The system shall provide the sound/accurate temperature control including heating and cooling and ensure the operation at -20 to 150 C with temperature stability of 0.01 C Clauses/Provisions Incorporated by reference: This requirement incorporates one or more clauses by reference with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text.
