An Organic Composite Phase Change Material for Hot Food Storage: A Review

Abstract

The paper reviews about the implementation of Latent Heat Storage System in the food storage techniques, due to its high- energy density and isothermal nature. It helps in sustaining the temperature of the hot food for a long time, thus preventing the pathogen growth. Adverse effects are faced by the children due to the pathogen growth in the food. Reasons for the cause of foodborne illness in the children were discussed. The characteristics of the phase change material (PCM) for the latent heat storage was described in detail. Finally, preparation and commercial feasibility of the PCM were studied and presented.
