This book would also be of interest to course instructors and food industry professionals.

Essentials of Food Process Engineering provides basics and fundamentals of Engineering subjects to students with non-mathematical background, persuing graduation and post-graduation career in Food Science and Engineering. This book is also useful as a refresher handy book for Plant Engineers and Managers in Food Processing and Dairy industries.Beginning with engineering calculations, it covers the important topics like mass and energy balance, heat and mass transfer, psychrometry and refrigeration etc., which are extensively used in Food Process Industry. A separate chapter on instruments for measurement of various parameters including measurement of food parameters is included.Salient Features - Useful for the students with non-mathematical background pursuing graduate and post graduate courses in Food Technology. - Thermal processing of food products, cold storage and measurements in Food Processing are covered. - All the chapters are provided with solved examples and practical problems.

Essentials of Food Science covers the basics of foods, food science, and food technology. The book is meant for the non-major intro course, whether taught in the food science or nutrition/dietetics department. In previous editions the book was organized around the USDA Food Pyramid which has been replaced. The revised pyramid will now be mentioned in appropriate chapters only. Other updates include new photos, website references, and culinary alerts for culinary and food preparation students. Two added topics include RFID (Radio frequency ID) tags, and trans fat disclosures. Includes updates on: food commodities, optimizing quality, laws, and food safety.

Fundamentals and Operations in Food Process Engineering deals with the basic engineering principles and transport processes applied to food processing, followed by specific unit operations with a large number of worked-out examples and problems for practice in each chapter. The book is divided into four sections: fundamentals in food process engineering, mechanical operations in food processing, thermal operations in food processing and mass transfer operations in food processing. The book is designed for students pursuing courses on food science and food technology, including a broader section of scientific personnel in the food processing and related industries.

Written by experts from all over the world, the book comprises the latest applications of mathematical and models in food engineering and fermentation. It provides the fundamentals on statistical methods to solve standard problems associated with food engineering and fermentation technology. Combining theory with a practical, hands-on approach, this book covers key aspects of food engineering. Presenting cuttingedge information, the book is an essential reference on the fundamental concepts associated with food engineering.

FUNDAMENTALS OF FOOD PROCESS ENGINEERING is intended as a text book for the academician, researchers and students of UG- and PG- levels in food science and technology, chemical engineering, food biotechnology, and process and food engineering, who are interested in the various aspects of processing, packaging, storage, preservation, safety and quality control and measurement, and design of food and chemical plants and equipments. As the name indicates, the book describes the fundamental principles involved in process and food engineering and their major applications in the field of food and bioprocess engineering. Second objective behind preparing the book is to meet syllabus of the candidates or students in process and food engineering those are preparing themselves for ARS, NET, SRF, JRF, IFS, and GATE Examinations. The book has been prepared taking account the syllabus of the Agricultural Structure and Process Engineering for the UGand PG- students in the course Agricultural Engineering. The book deals with various physical, thermal, frictional, textural, and viscoelastic properties of food materials; various mechanical and thermal food processing operations; basis electrical engineering, instrumentation and process control systems in food processing operation; and food plant and equipment design. Problems of last couple of years of GATE and ARS are included in each chapter in the book in order to make easy of understanding the concepts of various principles and to make students/ candidates with the question pattern of various competitive examination held in Agricultural Engineering subject.

This book on "Food Engineering Fundamentals" covers the Unit operations part of Food Engineering subject of Bachelor of Food Technology, Tribhuvan University, Nepal. However, it can be used to serve as a text or as a reference book for students, professionals, and others engaged in agricultural science and food engineering, food science, and food technology. This book is also intended to be a step-by-step workbook that will help the students to practice solving food engineering problems.
