**Context : development of innovative technologies to control superchilling**
- A large proportion of the food we consume has to be refrigerated, and a cold chain offering extended shelf-life would help reduce losses and avoid the CO2 emissions associated with inefficient preservation systems. While freezing allows for a long shelf-life, it often results in a loss of product quality and requires high energy consumption, given the very low temperatures involved. Superchilling, an "intermediary" between freezing and refrigeration, is a high-potential process that consists of partially freezing the product. To do this, the product is cooled to a temperature slightly below its freezing temperature, and then maintained at the same temperature during storage. Knowledge of the overall freezing rate (proportion of ice to water), which must be around 30%, is a key parameter in controlling this new process, but it is also one of the most difficult to measure. The aim of this thesis is therefore to develop non-intrusive measurement systems using electromagnetic waves to characterize this freezing rate.
- **Scientific issues, objectives and progress of the thesis** The PhD student will-
2. participate in the development of the entire experimental set-up (freezing system + sensors),
3. carry out partial freezing experiments on various model products (varying water and salt contents) and define standard methods for measuring ice content (calorimetry),
4. study the dielectric characteristics of products as a function of their composition and state (frozen, unfrozen) at different frequencies,
5. develop a numerical model describing the entire process in order to obtain local responses (in particular, spatial distribution of ice content), and finally
6. analyze and interpret all the results in order to propose a non-intrusive measuring device.- He/she will also be required to provide regular reports to the various parties involved in the project.**Prise de fonction**:
