Description

Gases in Agro-food Processes is the ultimate reference covering all applications of gases in agro-Food processes, from farm to fork. Divided into 11 sections, the book covers chemical and physical gas properties, gas monitoring, regulation, heat and mass transfers. Sections are dedicated to agriculture and food processing, wastewater treatment, safety applications and market trends. Users will find this to be a valuable resource for industrial scientists and researchers in technical centers who are developing agro-food products. In addition, the book is ideal for graduate students in agro-food science, chemistry and the biosciences.

Key features

  • Explores quality, safety, regulatory aspects and market conditions, along with an industry outlook on gases used in agro-food processes
  • Presents the application areas of gases in industries and explores the basic principles for each application
  • Provides a single-volume reference on the wide range of potential uses for gases, facilitating use-case comparison and selection considerations
  • Includes sections dedicated to agriculture and food processing, wastewater treatment, safety applications and market trends
