The Smith et al. method has been widely used for estimating the transient state and mass average temperature of an irregularly shaped food. For the computer implementation of their method, regression formulas were obtained to estimate a characteristic root applicable to an irregular body by using their nomograph. the Smith et al. method was improved for direct determination with two heat penetration parameters, f and j, without using temperature response charts as recommended by Smith et al.
