TLS Application:Testing the Thermal Conductivity of Papayas in Determining Appropriate Freezing Time

In this work – we summarize how to measure the thermal conductivity of papaya (Carica papaya) for such purposes.  The papaya fruit is a tropical fruit commonly cultivated in in India, Brazil, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Mexico. The C-Therm TCi Thermal Conductivity Analyzer configured with a Transient Line-Source (TLS) sensor to test the thermal conductivity of the fruit.
