Food Engineering

To meet the demands for high-quality, long-shelf-life fruits and fruit products, new processing technologies are under investigation and development. Presenting a blend of classical and emerging technologies, this volume explores a range of processing methods. Using a series of case studies, it disc..

Breaded fried foods, with their crispy surface and moist, soft interior, remain popular among consumers and therefore constitute a major segment of the fried food industry. These foods include meat, poultry, seafood and vegetable products. This book is among the first references to provide a coheren..

The search for better strategies to preserve foods with minimal changes during processing has been of great interest in recent decades. Traditionally, edible films and coatings have been used as a partial barrier to moisture, oxygen, and carbon dioxide through selective permeability to gases, as wel..

Introducing state-of-the-art technology and emerging systems for the quantitative evaluation and definite measurement of food quality and safety, this book begins with a review of the concept and scope of food quality parameters such as color, texture, chemical compositions, and flavor. Each chapter..

Aimed at producing and improving food ingredients, developments in food biotechnology have focused on the fields of genetics and in enzyme- and cell-based biological processes. While the underlying science of these developments and applications has traditionally been well reported, there is a clear ..

Fortification of food with valuable compounds is promising mean of increasing intakes of nutrients and minimizing risk of its deficiency in the population. The book presents state of the art in the field of novel method of fortification and the agricultural treatments...

Food Engineering Laboratory Manual..

This book addresses the ancillary equipment that allows processing lines in food production to operate. With clear, easy-to-understand language, the text details the bits and pieces that keep systems running and explains how they fit within the bigger picture. Peripherals and services are discussed ..

As developers of new food products and improved manufacturing processes, food engineers play a key role in the food industry. This is the first applications-oriented handbook to cover food engineering processes and manufacturing techniques. This practical handbook defines and explains essential food..

Improving food quality, specifically properties such as rheological, physicochemical, and sensorial aspects, is always a goal of food and beverage manufacturers. During the past decade, novel processing technologies including high hydrostatic pressure (HHP), ultrasound, pulse electric field (PEF), a..

This book provides a general reference on various aspects of food processing, packaging, storage, and quality control and assessment systems, describing the basic principles and major applications of emerging food processing technologies. It is divided into three sections, systemically examining adv..

Kinetic Modeling of Reactions in Foods: Modeling of Food Quality Attributes provides an introduction to kinetic models and modeling techniques and their applications in food science and technology. This book argues that the modeling of food changes is kinetic modeling. Integrating food science knowl..
