Abstract:This study aims to investigate the impacts of factors,
including
textural properties, surface roughness, and contact angle, on the
cleaning performance of food soils and develop a preliminary mathematical
model to predict the cleaning score, depending on the soil-surface
properties. The force required to remove soil from the surface was
determined by a texture analyzer equipped with a newly designed probe.
Potato puree and egg yolk soils showed high adhesive forces compared
to other deposits. Margarine require… Show more
