These processes and unit operations are very important in terms of achieving favorable sensory properties and energy usage. Chapters emphasize basic texts relating to experimental, theoretical, computational and/or applications of food engineering principles and relevant processing equipment for emerging thermal unit operations.
Written by experts in the field of food engineering in a simple and dynamic way, this book targets industrial engineers working in the field of food processing and within food factories to make them more familiar with food processing operations and equipment.
- Explores new opportunities in food processing through emerging thermal processes
- Discusses different alternatives for emerging thermal processing operations
- Helps improve the quality and safety of food products
