Covers a Host of Groundbreaking TechniquesThermal processing is known to effectively control microbial populations in food, but the procedure also has a downsideit can break down the biochemical composition of foods, resulting in a marked loss of sensory and nutritional quality. Processing Effects on Safety and Quality of Foods delineates three dec
Thermal technologies have long been at the heart of food processing. The application of heat is both an important method of preserving foods and a means of developing texture, flavour and colour. An essential issue for food manufacturers is the effective application of thermal technologies to achieve these objectives without damaging other desirable sensory and nutritional qualities in a food product. Edited by a leading authority in the field, and with a distinguished international team of contributors, Thermal technologies in food processing addresses this major issue.Part one of the collection begins with reviews of conventional retort and continuous heat technologies. Part two then looks...
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.
This new edition of Innovations in Food Packaging ensures that readers have the most current information on food packaging options, including active packaging, intelligent packaging, edible/biodegradable packaging, nanocomposites and other options for package design. Today's packaging not only contains and protects food, but where possible and appropriate, it can assist in inventory control, consumer education, increased market availability and shelf life, and even in ensuring the safety of the food product. As nanotechnology and other technologies have developed, new and important options for maximizing the role of packaging have emerged. This book specifically examines the whole range of m...
In this work, an innovative real-time microwave control approach is proposed, to improve the temperature homogeneity under microwave heating. Multiple adaptive or intelligent control structures have been developed, including the model predictive control, neural network control and reinforcement learning control methods. Experimental results prove that these advanced control methods can effectively reduce the final temperature derivations and improve the temperature homogeneity.
Food process engineering, a branch of both food science and chemical engineering, has evolved over the years since its inception and still is a rapidly changing discipline. While traditionally the main objective of food process engineering was preservation and stabilization, the focus today has shifted to enhance health aspects, flavour and taste, nutrition, sustainable production, food security and also to ensure more diversity for the increasing demand of consumers. The food industry is becoming increasingly competitive and dynamic, and strives to develop high quality, freshly prepared food products. To achieve this objective, food manufacturers are today presented with a growing array of ...

Wer möchte nicht wissen, was in unseren Lebensmitteln steckt und wie sie zu traditionellen oder neuen Produkten weiterverarbeitet werden? Viele Nahrungsmittel müssen, um genießbar zu sein oder den sensorischen Ansprüchen von Konsumenten zu entsprechen, erst einmal verarbeitet werden. Dieses Buch erklärt sowohl die Rohwaren und deren Inhaltstoffe als auch die Prozesstechnik, die benötigt wird, um daraus qualitativ hochwertige Produkte herzustellen. Dabei werden auch die Aspekte gesunde Ernährung und Novel Food berücksichtigt. Auf Basis des Kapitels "Lebensmitteltechnologie" in der Neuauflage des erfolgreichen Winnacker-Küchler, Band 8 (Ernährung, Gesundheit, Konsumgüter), 2004 wurde dieses Buch durch Erweiterung um einen zweiten Teil, der produktübergreifenden Lebensmittelverfahrenstechnik, erstellt. Es setzt Grundkenntnisse in der Chemie und Verfahrenstechnik voraus und umfasst die Lebensmittelkunde und -verfahrenstechnik, wie sie als Vorlesung für Ingenieure, Wirtschaftsingenieure und Lebensmittelchemiker als Haupt- oder Nebenfach angeboten wird.
