Abstract
When industrial sterilizing is being done on a large scale, retort pouches are typically loaded with solid components first, followed by liquid ones. The error of filling steps occurs before the sterilization procedure is feasible. The curry with chicken and turkey berries was chosen as the food protocol to be studied. The food’s solid/liquid ratio was tested, from 0.93 to 4.49. The process time was influenced by the heat capacity ratio of the solid and liquid, but it was not considerably affected by the solid/liquid ratio. As a result, the process time had an impact on the texture and color of the meat but had no effect on the texture of the vegetables for process periods between 5 and 12 min (F0 = 4). The process time was earlier researched; however, the results of this study were used to roughly estimate the process time in the instance of the F0.
