Steam is an often-used medium to transfer heat energy in many processes. This course looks at the special use of steam that is directly injected into food products. Although this can be done with the use of heat exchangers, the use of direct-injected steam into the food can prove to be the most efficient and give the best-desired results during the cooking or heating process. In order to accomplish this and yield a safe final food product, the steam requires specific handling and must be treated before injection in a specific manner with specific equipment. Additionally, as the resultant condensate becomes part of the actual food product, the additional moisture must be taken into account. A step by step graphical walkthrough of the final steam conditioning is used to give a detailed explanation of key components and their purpose.
