Beskrivning

Food Process Engineering Principles and Data provides an overview of topics surrounding safety and quality in processing foods. The book covers a range of physical properties of foods, providing background information on the physical, chemical and engineering properties of foods to ensure food safety and perform engineering calculations. Chapters are self-contained, with comprehensive charts of food properties, making this unique a great reference for scientists who need a single, handy source of information. Written by an authority on the physical properties of foods and food engineering, this book is ideal for food scientists, technologists, manufacturers and processors.

In addition, chemical engineers and biotechnologists will also benefit from the content of this comprehensive title.

Thoroughly explores a collection of data on the physical properties of foods and food processing systems
Presents background information on the chemical, physical and engineering properties of foods
Includes comprehensive charts with data on food properties
