Ebook Food engineering handbook: Food engineering fundamentals - Theodoros Varzakas, Constantina Tzia

This handbook provides a stimulating and up-to-date review of fundamental food engineering phenomena. An in-depth coverage of the major technologies compared with the broader coverage of others will be the deciding factor for would-be purchasers or academics considering prescribing the book as a food engineering textbook. It addresses the basic principles of food engineering methods used in food processing operations around the world. While it covers the theory it combines this with a practical hands-on approach. The book is a comprehensive resource that explores the basic and applied aspects of food engineering from mass transfer and heat transfer to steam and boilers, heat exchangers, diffusion, absorption, evaporation, and novel food processes such as irradiation technology.
