Bioreactor Technology in Food Processing brings peculiarities, specificities, and updates on bioreactors and bioprocesses related to food and beverage production. The 26 chapters of this book are the result of the participation of more than 70 professionals, including professors, researchers, and experts from the industrial sector from different countries around the world.

The chapters cover such topics as history, classification, scale-up, analytical tools, and mathematical and kinetic models for the operation of bioreactors in the food industry. In addition, chapters detail the characteristics of bioreactors for the production of food (bread, cheese, and coffee fermentation) and fermented beverages (beer, wine), distilled beverages, and organic compounds such as enzymes, acids, aromas, and pigments (biocolorants), among others.

Key Features:

Describes the basic and applied aspects of bioreactor in food processing Gathers information on bioreactors that is scattered in different journals and monographs as reviews and research articles Covers various types of bioreactors including stirred tank, airlift, photo-bioreactor, and disposable bioreactors Gives a broad overview of what exactly is involved in designing a bioreactor and optimizing its performance and finally their applications in the food processing industry

The broad interdisciplinary approach of this book will certainly make your reading very interesting, and we hope that it can contribute to knowledge and instigate creative thinking to overcome the challenges that food bioprocessing brings us.

This is the first book to focus on the scientific principles underlying the fermentation processes of cocoa and coffee beans and their impact on product quality and safety. The text compiles the knowledge from the different disciplines involved in fermentation, including botany, chemistry, microbiology, biochemistry, food science, and sensory science. The chapters discuss the botanics of the beans; fermentation methods; the microbiology of fermentation; the biochemistry and physiology of fermentation; the impacts of fermentation on bean flavor, quality, and safety; chocolate and coffee derived from the beans; and the processing of waste materials.

Cocoa and coffee beans are some of the most traded agricultural commodities on international markets. Combined, they provide raw materials for a global industry valued in excess of $250 billion. Despite this, few people know that microorganisms and microbial fermentation play key roles in their production and can have major impacts on product quality, safety, and value.Cocoa and Coffee Fermentations explores the scientific principles behind cocoa and coffee fermentation. The book covers botanical and production backgrounds, methods of bean fermentation and drying, microbial ecology and activities of fermentation, the biochemistry of fermentation, product quality and safety, and waste utilization. The book aims to optimize cocoa and coffee processing based on scientific evidence to enhance traditional processing methods that often give rise to inefficiencies and inconsistencies in product quality. It also aims to provide a better understanding of the complex microbial ecology in cocoa and coffee fermentations which involve interactions between species of yeasts, bacteria, and filamentous fungi.Cocoa and Coffee Fermentations hopes to inspire further research linking the microbiology and biochemistry of cocoa and coffee bean fermentations with the development of better controlled fermentations, implementation of quality assurance programs, and ultimately improvement of the sensory attributes of the final product.
