Varzakas T., Tzia C. (Eds.) Food Engineering Handbook: Food Process Engineering

CRC Press, 2015. — 654 p.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.
