ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for monitoring the residence time of food particles in a continuous flow process utilizing simulated food particles, each including a transponder having a predetermined identifying signal, to be subjected to the process along with the actual food particles. The method and apparatus relates to a continuous pasta cooking process in which a transponder in a simulated product emits an identifying signal received at various stations along the process to indicate the time of passage between the stations.
