F Value Cal - Food Processing

F Value Cal calculates thermal process lethality (F value) for food sterilization. It supports the design and verification of sterilization conditions in food manufacturing, for process design and quality assurance.

FREE - F value from process temperature and time (Ref. Temp fixed at 121.1 °C, Z fixed at 10) - Editable D Value and the D-reduction count "(n D)" - Cook value Z back-calculation from two or more conditions, with "Save as My Cook Value" - Log saving (no numeric cap), saved log list, detail and delete, CSV export - Food Database (2,538 official entries, with search) - My Foods, My Packaging, My Equipment and My Cook Values: add, edit, CSV import, CSV export - Temperature unit (°C / °F) and language (Auto, English, 日本語) settings - Basics: terms and calculation assumptions in plain language

FOUNDATION PLAN (one-time purchase) - Edit Ref. Temp and Z Value - Inverse Calc: required time and required temperature

PRODUCTION + SIMULATOR PLAN (one-time purchase) - UHT: holding time, required heating-section outlet temperature, required cooling-section inlet temperature, cook value - Retort: multi-phase F value (come-up 1/2, hold, come-down 1/2), continuous retort, required hold time - Simulator: cold-spot F value and wall cook value for cans (finite cylinder) and pouches (flat slab); forward calculation, required hold time, required hold temperature and a compare table

GOOD TO KNOW - This app supports calculation only. Food safety and regulatory compliance must be verified by you. - Simulator results are reference estimates with a small approximation error. Confirm them by actual measurement. - Calculations do not require an internet connection. - Languages: English and Japanese.
