Understand how heat moves through canned foods to keep your results safe and consistent.

This nonfiction study explores time-temperature relations in canning, focusing on how long heat must reach the center of a can and how long it must be maintained. The work presents methods, data, and underlying principles from tests conducted in 1919 on vegetables and fruits, with results framed to help other researchers improve practices.

What you’ll get from this edition

Clear explanations of how packing, liquid, and texture affect heat penetration.
Practical insights into measuring center-can temperatures during processing and cooling.
Observations on how agitation, viscosity, and moisture change processing times for different foods.
Examples from experiments on beans, asparagus, sweet corn, sweet potatoes, and more to illustrate real effects.
A grounded look at how the study builds on previous work and why these time-temperature relationships matter for safe, reliable canning.

Ideal for readers of food science, home canners seeking a deeper understanding, or professionals maintaining quality in processed foods.
