TV dinners should be quick to prepare, and now a European research project has developed software speeding-up the design of ready-meals.


Computer programmes created by Swedish and Polish scientists in the Eureka network, will help instant meal manufacturers assess how their products defrost and cook in microwaves.


Their MICRODEFROST MODEL project aims to help design products whose food retains taste, moisture and colour when cooked.


Birgitta Wäppling-Raaholt from the Swedish Institute for Food and Biotechnology said the software helped “predict microwave heating uniformity”, making it “possible to design the make-up of the food product – geometry, placement of different food components, packaging parameters and so on – much faster”.
