Required Materials:

1. Measurement System
• ThermoBiscuit™, ThermoSleeve and Strap
• I-Probes™ or BreadScope™
• GateWay™
• DataLink™ Lab software with ZoneCue™ and BakingProfile™ Add-In modules.
2. Multiple-strap baking pan with mold size of at least 3"x4"x7".
3. Baking dough.
4. Baking profile temperatures in Farenheit such as
• Oven entry: ~150 degrees (slightly above proofing)
• Yeast Kill: ~145 degrees
• Starch coagulation: ~165 degrees
• Enzyme kill: ~190 degrees
• Final arrival: ~202 degrees
• Oven exit: ~210 degrees
5. Oven zone parameters such as
• Number of oven zones: ~6 zones
• Length of each oven zone: ~20 feet
• Oven belt speed: 5.7 feet per minute
(= 120-foot long oven divided by bake time of 21 minutes)

Procedure of Collecting Temperature Data:

1. Set up ThermoBiscuit as a data logger
• Install batteries in the ThermoBiscuit (do not replace ThermoBiscuit cover yet).
• Connect I-Probes with ThermoBiscuit.
• Start DataLink software on a laptop
• Set up ThermoBiscuit as a data logger following the instructions in ThermoBiscuit Quick Start Guide. It is important to have one channel that records Oven Air
• Copy down the keycode, required for data download. ThermoBiscuit is now collecting temperature data from I-Probes inside baking dough and Oven Air
• Close the software DataLink.
• Secure the ThermoBiscuit cover.
2. Prepare hardware for placement in baking pan
• Install the ThermoSleeve onto ThermoBiscuit.
• Insert the I-probes into dough to measure the core temperature. Position one probe to measure the oven air temperature.

3. Install the ThermoBiscuit system in a baking pan
• Take the ThermoBiscuit system and the baking pan to a location near the oven entrance.
• Position the baking pan onto conveyor belt in front of oven entry. ThermoBiscuit is now traveling with baking pan toward the oven.
4. Getting ready to download data
• Wait for ThermoBiscuit to exit the oven. CAUTION- DEVICES ARE HOT! POSSIBLE BURN HAZARD!.
• Remove baking pan with ThermoBiscuit from the production line.
• Remove the ThermoBiscuit system from the baking pan and place on a suitable surface. Do not unplug probe connectors.
• Remove ThermoSleeve and strap from ThermoBiscuit. ThermoBiscuit is now ready for download.

5. Download temperature data
• Place the ThermoBiscuit system next to the laptop.
• Start the DataLink software and select [Retrieve data from modules]. Selecting other option could cause the data to be erased!
• Follow instructions in ThermoBiscuit Quick Start Guide to download data.
• Remember to save the Excel report and the JPEG data chart. Data report is now available for review.

Baking Analysis using Thermal Profiles:

• Verify temperature at each zone. Does it meet the zone set point specification?
• Does the baking curve look right?



• Is the baking time duration correct?
• Do all target temperatures meet expectation?
