Advances in Bioprocessing Engineering
This book consists of peer-reviewed articles reporting on the latest developments in several food engineering and agricultural processing laboratories at US land-granted universities. The contributors are leading experts in their respective fields.The topics covered in the book include new food processing technologies (such as high voltage electric field processing and microwave sterilization/pasteurization), conversion of agricultural by-products into high quality refined cellulose or biodegradable plastics, and advances in machine vision inspection and sorting techniques for fruit and vegetable packaging lines. Each chapter begins with a general background review with important references, and ends with the latest results from each research laboratory.
Interdisciplinary and Sustainability Issues in Food and Agriculture - Volume III
Interdisciplinary and Sustainability Issues in Food and Agriculture is a component of Encyclopedia of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. The Theme on Interdisciplinary and Sustainability Issues in Food and Agriculture provides the essential aspects and discusses a number of issues of importance in the development of specific agriculture and food supply systems that are closely related to general developmental trends of humankind. In this context technology and economic development as well as socio-cultural developments affect productivity and a secure supply with food. These three volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College students Educators, Professional practitioners, Research personnel and Policy analysts, managers, and decision makers and NGOs.
Radio-Frequency Heating in Food Processing
Radio-Frequency Heating in Food Processing: Principles and Applications covers the fundamentals of radio-frequency (RF) heating and the use of RF-heating technologies in modern food processing, preservation, and related industries. Focusing on industrial and lab-scale applications where RF heating has been employed successfully or reported to have potential benefits over conventional heating options, this state-of-the-art reference: Explains the similarities, differences, advantages, and limitations of RF and microwave heating as applied to agricultural products Describes fiber-optics temperature sensors and their utility in monitoring temperature during RF and microwave heating Discusses th...
Systems Analysis and Modeling in Food and Agriculture
Systems Analysis and Modeling in Food and Agriculture is a component of Encyclopedia of Food and Agricultural Sciences, Engineering and Technology Resources in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Systems analysis and modeling is being used increasingly in understanding and solving problems in food and agriculture. The purpose of systems analysis is to support decisions by emphasizing the interactions of processes and components within a system. Frequently investigated systems level questions in agriculture and food are relevant to the 6 E's: Environment, Energy, Ecology, Economics, Education, and Efficiency. ...
The Microwave Processing of Foods
With such advantages as more rapid heating and preservation of sensory and nutritional quality, microwave processing has proved a versatile technology. This important book reviews the wealth of recent research on how this technology affects particular foods and how it can be optimised for the food industry. Part one discusses current research on how microwaves interact with the dielectric properties of foods and reviews its effects on nutritional and sensory quality. Building on this foundation, the range of applications of microwave processing from baking and drying to blanching, thawing and tempering are reviewed. It also looks at packaging issues. The final part of the book covers the key...
Heat Treatments for Postharvest Pest Control
This book, which consists of 13 chapters, provides fundamental and up-to-date published information on thermal treatments for the management of postharvest pests associated with agricultural commodity structures. Specific topics that are covered include: (i) regulatory issues for quarantine and phytosanitary treatments; (ii) basic information on temperature measurement, heat transfer, and thermal death kinetics of insects; (iii) biological responses of agricultural commodities and insect pests; (iv) biological responses of plants, insects and pathogens to heat; and (v) an introduction to current and potential quarantine treatments based on hot air, hot water, and radio frequency energy. This book should serve as an important resource for readers who are interested in knowledge, methods and strategies used in the development of environmentally friendly processes based on thermal energy. This book may also be suited for readers in the academe, industry and government.
Innovative Food Processing Technologies
Part of the IFT (Institute of Food Technologists) series, this book discusses multiphysics modeling and its application in the development, optimization, and scale-up of emerging food processing technologies. The book covers recent research outcomes to demonstrate process efficiency and the impact on scalability, safety, and quality, and technologies including High Pressure Processing, High Pressure Thermal Sterilization, Radiofrequency, Ultrasound, Ultraviolet, and Pulsed Electric Fields Processing. Ideal for food and process engineers, food technologists, equipment designers, microbiologists, and research and development personnel, this book covers the importance and the methods for applying multiphysics modeling for the design, development, and application of these technologies.
Packaging for Nonthermal Processing of Food
A comprehensive review of the many new developments in the growing food processing and packaging field Revised and updated for the first time in a decade, this book discusses packaging implications for recent nonthermal processing technologies and mild food preservation such as high pressure processing, irradiation, pulsed electric fields, microwave sterilization, and other hurdle technologies. It reviews typical nonthermal processes, the characteristics of food products after nonthermal treatments, and packaging parameters to preserve the quality and enhance the safety of the products. In addition, the critical role played by packaging materials during the development of a new nonthermal pr...
Frying Technology
Covering all the recently adapted developments, challenges, and other healthy approaches in the process of frying, this book provides the details of various frying technologies and discusses its operations and machinery in depth. Emphasis is placed on healthy prospects, nutritional values, and the emerging threats (e.g., acrylamide, acrolein, oxidation, rancidity and other hydroperoxides) of the frying process and effective ways to minimize them. Key Features Provides a complete guide to production and consumption of fried foods along with discussions on packaging and labeling with global perspectives Discusses textural, sensory and nutritional profiles of fried, baked, and puffed foods Explains the impact of frying on macromolecular constituents, fats/oils, starches, and proteins A cohesive exploration of food-frying technology, this book appeals to students, academicians, researchers and professionals in the fields of nutrition and food sciences.
Developments in Food Engineering
The necessity of prediction and fine control in the food manufacturing process is becoming more important than ever before, and food researchers and engineers must confront difficulties arising from the specificity of food materials and the sensitivity of human beings to taste. Fortunately, an overview of world research reveals that the mechanisms of the many complex phenomena found in the food manufacturing process have been gradually elucidated by skilful experiments using new analytical tools, methods and theoretical analyses. This book, the proceedings of the 6th International Congress on Engineering and Food (ICEF6), held for the first time in Asia - in Chiba, Japan May 23 -27, 1993 - s...
