Food Engineering Handbook : Food Process Engineering

This book addresses the basic and applied principles of food engineering methods used in food processing operations. Presenting cutting-edge information on emerging food engineering processes, this text examines the thermophysical properties and modeling of selected processes such as chilling, freezing, and dehydration; discusses size reduction, mixing, emulsion, and encapsulation; includes case studies of solid–liquid and supercritical fluid extraction; and explores fermentation, enzymes, fluidized-bed drying, and more. It provides an essential reference on the modeling, quality, safety, and technologies associated with food processing operations today.

Food Engineering Handbook: Food Process Engineering addresses the basic and applied principles of food engineering methods used in food processing operations around the world. Combining theory with a practical, hands-on approach, this book examines the thermophysical properties and modeling of selected processes such as chilling, freezing, and dehydration. A complement to Food Engineering Handbook: Food Engineering Fundamentals, this text:

• Discusses size reduction, mixing, emulsion, and encapsulation
• Provides case studies of solid–liquid and supercritical fluid extraction
• Explores fermentation, enzymes, fluidized-bed drying, and more

Presenting cutting-edge information on new and emerging food engineering processes, Food Engineering Handbook: Food Process Engineering is an essential reference on the modeling, quality, safety, and technologies associated with food processing operations today.
