Cut meats are usually wrapped or vacuum packed directly after cutting. The viscera, bones and other parts not going for human consumption have a byproduct value, and will probably need to be stored at chill temperature before disposal. 

Cut meats may be frozen or kept at chill temperatures. If the latter, the shelf life is comparatively low and the product will be despatched almost immediately for sale.

The body is basically an isothermal system fine-tuned to 37°C (98.6°F). The skin has major responsibility in temperature maintenance. When the body is exposed to chilling temperatures that remove heat faster than the body s metabolic output can replace it, changes take place in the skin to conserve heat. Conversely, when the body becomes overheated, physiological processes come into play that lead to cooling.

Squash such as courgette (zucchini) and cucumber is a chill-sensitive commodity. Exposure to chilling temperatures causes loss of membrane integrity and water redistribution from the cell to the intercellular space. Visible injury symptoms such as surface pitting and dark watery patches eventually develop. Early detection of chill injury is important in order to ascertain the necessity and correct timing of treatments such as heat shock, that can reverse the condition. However, delaying treatment to the point where visible symptoms appear is too late for reversal.

The solvent employed in the first commercial installation, of the Indian Refining Co., was a mixture of acetone and benzene (90% grade). In the subsequent development of the process by The Texas Co., a large number of solvents were found to be satisfactory. At present, the process normally employs a mixture of methyl ethyl ketone and industrial grade benzene, which have been found to be admirably suitable and provide a relatively low cost solvent. Toluene is substituted for all or part of the benzene when low chilling temperatures are required to obtain oils of very low pour point, as benzene may crystallize out from the mixture at these lower temperatures.

Where storage under ambient or chilled temperatures is intended for the foodstuff, accelerated tests are carried out. For example, ten days at 40 °C covers ambient storage. For a combination of time and temperatures a combination of test conditions is used. In some cases carrying out only the most severe test is allowed. For example two hours at 175 °C to cover oven cooking would also cover ambient storage. To cover all anticipated conditions of use, test conditions of two hours at 175 °C with olive oil, and reflux conditions for four hours are used with aqueous simulants. Some examples of test conditions are given in Table 10.1. 

To function properly, cell membranes must exist primarily in the liquid-crystalline state. Model studies using synthetic lipids have demonstrated that the presence of a (9Z)-olefinic fatty acyl side chain in a diacylphospholipid lowers its gel-liquid phase temperature (T ) by some 50° C relative to its fully saturated analog (4). The presence of the A fatty acyl side chain lowers the T even more and constitutes an important adaptation to chilling for plants. The regulation of the response to chilling temperatures has been studied in some detail in various organisms (4). 

The standard wind-chill formula [Eq. (14)] should not be confused with the standard wind-chill table [66], The standard wind-chill table is based on a standard of calm of 3 mi / h (typical walking speed), rather than on the true standard of calm V = 0 mi / h in true accordance with the standard wind-chill formula [Eq. (14)] that we adopt in this Sect. 4.2. Also, the recommended ranges of applicability of the standard wind-chill table are —50°F < T < 50°F and 3mi/h < V < 110mi /h [66], But we base our calculations of W on the standard wind-chill formula [Eq. (14)], for which no limits on the range of applicability are stated for either T or V [66]. If there is a sufficiently strong wind on Neptune, then Eq. (14) yields a cold negative Kelvin effective wind-chill temperature VV. 

Re Entries [66] and [67], Refs. [66] and [67]) An online brochure accessible at Ref. [66] provides more information. Reference [67] augments Ref. [66] with still more information, including references and a few alternative formulas for wind-chill temperature W. (In Australia the wind-chill temperature >V is dubbed as the apparent temperature AT.) In this Sect. 4.2. we always calculate W based on the formula employed by the U. S. A. National Weather Service [Eq. (14)]. 

It has been argued [83], that Eq. (14) for wind-chill temperature W is only an approximation [83], that even as an approximation it is valid only at Earth-like or "human"...

The solvents added to the system reduce the heat load of the reactor because energy is needed to increase the temperature of the solvent to the reactor conditions (sensible heat), yet no heat of polymerization is released by the solvent. This can be an effective measure to reduce heat load at the expense of reduced polymer productivity. When the reactor system operates at elevated temperatures, the additional solvent can pose a challenge to the heating system. Because of the sensible heat effect, some processes use chilling of the monomer, as long as the chilled temperature is not too low to freeze any component.
