Most baking books do not focus on the simultaneous heat and mass transfer that occurs in the baking process, thereby ignoring a fundamental facet of process and product development. Addressing the engineering and science elements often ignored in current baking books, Food Engineering Aspects of Baking Sweet Goods explores important topics i

Cereal food engineering has become increasingly important in the food industry over the years, as it plays a key role in developing new food products and improved manufacturing processes. Engineering Aspects of Cereal and Cereal-Based Products focuses on the recent growth in cereal technology and baked foods science, reviewing the latest updates in

Expert Insight into the Engineering Aspects of Dairy Products ManufacturingConsumer demand is constantly on the rise for better and more nutritious dairy products, from traditional milk to new, high-value added products like meal-replacement drinks. This changing market preference reinforces the importance of milk as a raw material in the food indu

Physical and chemical interactions between various constituents of foods resulting from processing operations often lead to physical, sensory, and nutritional changes in the properties of foods. Answering the need for a resource in this area, this volume describes the effects of various processing technologies in different food processing situations. A first part looks at the physicochemical property changes of different foods undergoing selected processes, such as drying, extrusion, microencapsulation, and microwave assisted thermal processing. The second part focuses on the changes of physicochemical properties of different products, such as seafood, meat, and confectionary products.

Emulsions are found in a wide variety of food products, pharmaceuticals, paints, and cosmetics, thus emulsification is a truly multidisciplinary phenomenon. Therefore understanding of the process must evolve from the combination of (at least) three different scientific specializations. Engineering Aspects of Food Emulsification and Homogenization d

Food biotechnology's typical developments and applications have occurred in the fields of genetics and in enzyme- and cell-based biological processes, with the goal of producing and improving food ingredients and foods themselves. While these developments and applications are usually well reported in terms of the underlying science, there is a clea

Food Engineering Handbook: Food Engineering Fundamentals provides a stimulating and up-to-date review of food engineering phenomena. Combining theory with a practical, hands-on approach, this book covers the key aspects of food engineering, from mass and heat transfer to steam and boilers, heat exchangers, diffusion, and absorption. A complement to Food Engineering Handbook: Food Process Engineering, this text: Explains the interactions between different food constituents that might lead to changes in food properties Describes the characterization of the heating behavior of foods, their heat transfer, heat exchangers, and the equipment used in each food engineering method Discusses rheology, fluid flow, evaporation, and distillation and includes illustrative case studies of food behaviors Presenting cutting-edge information, Food Engineering Handbook: Food Engineering Fundamentals is an essential reference on the fundamental concepts associated with food engineering today.

Consumer-driven products have kept the food industry at the forefront of technological innovations.
