3.4. Prediction of Thermal ConductivityThe prediction of thermal conductivity of foods is complex and the obtained results can vary by two orders of magnitude [34]. Thermal conductivity depends on composition, structure, and temperature. The thermal conductivity of water is much higher than that of other food components (protein, fat, and carbohydrate), and therefore the water content of foods has a significant effect on the thermal conductivity of foods containing water [56].
