报告摘要:
Frank Younce of the Washington State University School of Food Science has created a new course for teaching Food Science students about industrial control systems and a process validation for food manufacturing.Presented from the perspective of an introductory overview; students gain a basic understanding of instrumentation, control strategies, human machine interfaces and the documentation necessary to validate a food process while using industrial control software packages commonly used in industry.Most importantly, students learn the terminology necessary to communicate with process engineers, system integrators and equipment vendors to be effective project team members.

报告摘要:
Thermal processing for microbial inactivation is a fundamental unit operation for food preservation.Adequate heat treatment while necessary for food safety for preservation can also lead to the loss of nutritional and sensory quality when compared to freshly prepared meals.New technologies are being developed to safely preserve food with rapid heating while reducing the overall heat exposure for improved flavor and texture.Frank Younce, School of Food Science Pilot Plant Manager, presents an overview of traditional thermal processing and some of the novel technologies being investigated Washington State University.
报告人简介:
Frank Younce is the Manager of the Food Processing Pilot Plant for Washington State University/University of Idaho School of Food Science and WSU Biological System Engineering.
Frank became Pilot Plant Manager in the new WSU Food Science building in 1990.From his outside interests as chief engineer of a local broadcast radio station, he became heavily involved in the microwave and radio frequency thermal food processing research of Dr. Juming Tang for 15 years.Frank has been the system integrator for Dr. Tang’s Microwave Assisted Thermal Sterilization system (or MATS), several radio frequency system and most recently the Microwave Assisted Pasteurization System (or MAPS). Using his work experience with Dr. Tang, Frank earned his Professional Engineering License in Control Systems in 2008.
In addition to the engineering research, Frank has developed and taught several Food Science lecture courses and numerous pilot plant laboratory sessions at WSU.He presently teaches Food Processing, a unit operations course, in the fall, and Advanced Food Technology, a controls and process validation course, along with an Introduction to Food Engineering Lab in the spring.
Frank is an active member of the Institute of Food Technologists (Certified Food Scientist) and a member the International Society of Automation.
