What does 1 calorie (th)/minute represent?

It represents a power unit defined as one thermochemical calorie delivered per minute, equal to exactly 4.184 joules per minute.

Why convert calorie (th)/minute to decijoule/second?

Because decijoule/second is an SI-derived unit better suited for expressing small power levels in scientific and engineering applications.

Can this converter be used for food science experiments?

Yes, it is useful for characterizing low-rate heating or cooking energy transfer during product trials.
