Database of physical properties of foods

NELFOOD database, http://www.nelfood.com , provides data on physical properties in five main categories: thermal, mechanical, sorption/diffusion, electrical and optical. The categories, thermal/sorption/diffusion, are most important for modelling the microbial environment in classical food preservation. For the novel methods of preservation (high pressure and electroporation) we are adding data on the mechanical and electrical phenomena as they become available. To assist the industry NELFOOD includes a Knowledge Base explaining the connection between water activity and microbial growth.
