ABSTRACT
Processed foods are vital in modern diets, reflecting lifestyle preferences. This study focuses on crucial factors affecting their quality, particularly the F value. Our user-friendly Android app, utilizing the Patashnik improved method, is customized for pasteurized crab meat. By optimizing F values in fishery processing, our research prioritizes microbial safety. Traditional F value calculation is intricate, demanding expertise and time. Our solution allows even non-experts to compute F values accurately in under a minute using Excel, achieving 99.9% accuracy. This enhances efficiency and precision in ensuring food safety.
HIGHLIGHTS
1. Developed Android app for F-value calculations in crab meat pasteurization.
2. F-value ensures food quality and safety in thermal processing.
3. App simplifies the process for lab technicians, offering flexibility and data storage.
4. User feedback highlights user-friendliness and accuracy, with potential for further improvements.
