Packed with case studies and problem calculations, Handbook of Food Processing: Food Safety, Quality, and Manufacturing Processes presents the information necessary to design food processing operations and describes the equipment needed to carry them out in detail. It covers the most common and new food manufacturing processes while addressing rele

The book provides comprehensive coverage of the processing and preservation aspects of food science that include chemical, microbiological and technological processes on the one hand, and assessment of food quality and safety, new and modified foods by fermentation, food-boene diseases and food spoilage on the other. The preservation operations involving the use of high and low temperatures and radiation have also been discussed in detail. Intended as a textbook for undergraduate students of science and engineering, this study would also be of great help to postgraduate students offering courses in food science, and to professionals as well as academicians.

This book provides an exhaustive coverage on all the types of food products-fruits, vegetables, cereals, dairy and meat processing and their preservation. It also provides a brief introduction to their importance in employment generation. Note: T&F does not sell or distribute the hardback in India, Pakistan, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

This Book Has Been Planned In Ten Chapters Covering The Complete Range Of Food Processing And The Related Activities In The Food Manufacturing Plants With Its Exhaustive Coverage And Systematic Style Of Presentation, This Book Would Serve As An Excellent Text For Students Of Food Science And Nutrition. Entrepreneurs And General Readers Would Also Find This Book To Be An Authoritative Reference Source. * Chapter 1 Starts With The Technological Processes Applied To Cereals, Our Staple Food And Explains The Need For Storing Grains Properly * Chapter 2 Covers The Processing Of Legumes, The Major Protein Source For Majority Of The Vegetarians * Chapter 3 Explains The Production Of Edible Oils From Oil Seeds * Chapter 4 Describes The Various Methods Used In Preserving Fruits And Vegetables * Chapter 5 Covers Dairy Products And The Need For Utilizing The By-Products Such As Whey, Ghee-Residue Etc. * Chapter 6 Discusses The Preservation And Storage Techniques Of Highly Perishable Flesh Foods Such As Meat, Poultry, Fish And Egg. * Food Additives Play A Major Role In Food Processing And Chapter 7 Describes The Functions And Uses Of These Additives In Foods. * Snack Foods Are Becoming Increasingly Popular Among The Younger Generation And The Merits Of Extruded Foods In Developing Health Foods And Supplementary Foods Have Been Brought Out In Chapter 8 * The New Methods Of Food Preservation Like Irradiation And The Safety Considerations Have Been Focussed Upon In Chapter 9 * The Last Chapter Deals With Packaging Technology That Has Shown The Most Rapid Development In Recent Years * Books And Journals For Further Reading Have Been Suggested Under Each Chapter.

Food Processing and Preservation Technology: Advances, Methods, and Applications confronts the challenges of food preservation by providing new research and information on the use of novel processing and preservation technologies during production, processing, and transportation in the food industry for the improvement of shelf life and the safety of foods. The book is organized in two main parts. The first section focuses on novel and nonthermal processing of food and food products. It looks at dielectric heating and ohmic heating as well as three-dimensional printing of foods and ozonization of food products. Part two delves into process interventions for food processing and preservations, discussing the applications of diverse novel food processing. The authors discuss drying technologies, advances in food fermentation technologies, mechanization of traditional indigenous products for preservation of food and safety, and different properties and concepts of bakery products. Key features: Examines different properties and attributes of some bakery foods, etc. Elucidates on novel nonthermal processing techniques and their mechanisms of actions for minimal loss of food nutrients and for food safety Discusses a variety of modern technologies that aim to reduce the spoilage of food products This volume presents valuable research on food processing, quality control, and safety measures for food products by means of novel processing and preservation technologies during production, processing, and transportation in the food industry.

Green Food Processing Techniques: Preservation, Transformation and Extraction advances the ethics and practical objectives of "Green Food Processing" by offering a critical mass of research on a series of methodological and technological tools in innovative food processing techniques, along with their role in promoting the sustainable food industry. These techniques (such as microwave, ultrasound, pulse electric field, instant controlled pressure drop, supercritical fluid processing, extrusion...) lie on the frontier of food processing, food chemistry, and food microbiology, and are thus presented with tools to make preservation, transformation and extraction greener. The Food Industry constantly needs to reshape and innovate itself in order to achieve the social, financial and environmental demands of the 21st century. Green Food Processing can respond to these challenges by enhancing shelf life and the nutritional quality of food products, while at the same time reducing energy use and unit operations for processing, eliminating wastes and byproducts, reducing water use in harvesting, washing and processing, and using naturally derived ingredients. - Introduces the strategic concept of Green Food Processing to meet the challenges of the future of the food industry - Presents innovative techniques for green food processing that can be used in academia, and in industry in R&D and processing - Brings a multidisciplinary approach, with significant contributions from eminent scientists who are actively working on Green Food Processing techniques
