Dr. Tiwari does extensive research all around the world, has won many awards, is an editorial board member and a keynote speaker at international conferences with over 175 peer-reviewed research publications and over 100 book chapters. He has also co-edited 10 books and is a book series editor for IFST Advances in Food Science book series. He is currently the Editor-in-chief of the Journal of Food Processing and Preservation.

"This book provides a comprehensive overview of thermal process innovations (such as ohmic, microwave and infrared heating) and non-thermal technologies (including pulsed electric field, high pressure, ultrasound, irradiation, ozone, dense-phase carbon dioxide, ultraviolet and pulsed light) as they are applied specifically for fluid foods. Novel Thermal and Non-Thermal Technologies for Fluid Foods brings together information on fluid and microbial and quality dynamics for fluid foods to facilitate process validation and technology adoption. It includes methods for mathematically evaluating each technique, addresses global regulatory requirements for fluid foods and provides recommendations for various safety-related issues." --FST
