Guibing Chen

I am a professor of Food Process Engineering at North Carolina A&T State University. Before joining NC A&T, I served as a thermal processing specialist at ConAgra Foods. I earned my Ph.D. from Purdue University, where my dissertation focused on online correction of process-temperature deviations in continuous retorts. Over the past decade, I have developed a 2D APNS method to model temperature profiles at the slowest-heating point in canned foods, which I published in the Journal of Food Engineering in 2022. Building on this work, I recently developed a web-based software tool to analyze heat penetration data, establish thermal processes, and predict product temperatures under any retort temperature profile. I validated the tool using 25 heat penetration datasets, with strong agreement between predicted and observed results.
