Download or read book Novel Technologies in Food Science written by Navnidhi Chhikara and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-01-04 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NOVEL TECHNOLOGIES IN FOOD SCIENCE Presenting cutting-edge information on new and emerging food engineering processes, Novel Technologies in Food Science, the newest volume in the ground-breaking new series, “Bioprocessing in Food Science,” is an essential reference on the modelling, quality, safety, and technologies associated with food processing operations today. Novel Technologies in Food Science, the latest volume in the series, “Bioprocessing in Food Science,” is based on the novel technologies in usage and requirements for handling, processing, storage, and packaging of food. Novel bioprocessing technologies are gaining more interest among researchers and industries due to the minimal impact on product quality in comparison to conventional methods. These techniques are also superior in terms of energy, time-saving and extended shelf life, and thus can replace the conventional technologies partially or completely. Practical application of these technologies by the food industry, however, is limited due to higher costs, lack of knowledge in food manufacturers for the implementation of technologies, and validation systems. An in-depth discussion on consumer needs and rights, industry responsibilities, and future prospectus of novel technologies in food science are covered in this volume. The main objective of this book is to disseminate knowledge about the recent technologies developed in the field of food science to students, researchers, and industry people. This will enable them to make crucial decisions regarding the adoption, implementation, economics, and constraints of the different technologies. Different technologies like ultrasonication, pulse electric field, high-pressure processing, magnetization, ohmic heating, and irradiation are discussed with their application in food product manufacturing, packaging, food safety, and quality assurance. Whether for the veteran engineer or scientist, the student, or a manager or other technician working in the field, this volume is a must-have for any library.

Download or read book Innovative Food Processing Technologies written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2020-08-18 with total page 2482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 new technologies that have the potential to improve, or replace, conventional processing technologies, to deliver higher quality and better consumer targeted food products, which meet many, if not all, of the demands of the modern consumer. These new, or innovative, technologies are in various stages of development, including some still at the R&D stage, and others that have been commercialised as alternatives to conventional processing technologies. Food process engineering comprises a series of unit operations traditionally applied in the food industry. One major component of these operations relates to the application of heat, directly or indirectly, to provide foods free from pathogenic microorganisms, but also to enhance or intensify other processes, such as extraction, separation or modification of components. The last three decades have also witnessed the advent and adaptation of several operations, processes, and techniques aimed at producing high quality foods, with minimum alteration of sensory and nutritive properties. Some of these innovative technologies have significantly reduced the thermal component in food processing, offering alternative nonthermal methods. Food Processing Technologies: A Comprehensive Review, Three Volume Set covers the latest advances in innovative and nonthermal processing, such as high pressure, pulsed electric fields, radiofrequency, high intensity pulsed light, ultrasound, irradiation and new hurdle technology. Each section will have an introductory article covering the basic principles and applications of each technology, and in-depth articles covering the currently available equipment (and/or the current state of development), food quality and safety, application to various sectors, food laws and regulations, consumer acceptance, advancements and future scope. It will also contain case studies and examples to illustrate state-of-the-art applications. Each section will serve as an excellent reference to food industry professionals involved in the processing of a wide range of food categories, e.g., meat, seafood, beverage, dairy, eggs, fruits and vegetable products, spices, herbs among others.
