Abstract
The fermented pork sausage (Sai Krok Isan) is a popular local food in Thailand. The fermented sausage is made by mixing steamed rice, pork, and various seasonings, so it must be cooked before eating. The cooking method for fermented pork sausage is usually grilling. The problem of grilling is can cause the outer surface to be cooked before the inner surface. Therefore, microwave heating is an option to solve this problem. Because microwaves can penetrate the inner surface, causing the inside of the food to heat before the outside. The cooked temperature of pork is 72 °C. In this study, a three-dimensional (3D) simulation of microwave heating of the fermented pork sausage is performed, and use finite element method (FEM) in Maxwell's equation and heat transfer equation to study the effects of the microwave power inputs (25 W, 50 W and 100 W) and the heating times (60 s, 180 s and 360 s) on the cooked temperature of fermented pork sausage in domestic microwave oven. It is found that when the microwave power input increases, the temperature value increases. Similarly, as heating time increases, the temperature value also increases. It is found that using the microwave power input of 100 W and heating time of 180 s and 360 s has a temperature of more than 72 °C, which indicates that the fermented pork sausage is cooked. The simulation results of this study can be used to develop and design microwave heating in fermented pork sausage or other foods.
