Description
Sihui Chen and others review modelling and simulation of mass transfer in food processing, in a 2026 survey. Foods are porous, multiphase, and changing during treatment, so experiments alone cannot capture how moisture or solutes move over space and time. The review links governing equations to simulation workflow and real applications.
Formulations covered range from simple diffusion to coupled heat and mass flow, multicomponent transfer, and flow through porous media, each with stated assumptions. A unified workflow runs from transport identification through checking and transferability checks. Drying and multilayer foods serve as examples. The authors call for structure-aware, experimentally validated frameworks that engineers can actually reuse.
