Advanced Micro-Level Experimental Techniques for Food Drying and Processing Applications

Although strides have been made to quantitatively explore micro-level structural changes during food processing using advanced technologies there is currently no comprehensive book that details these developments. Therefore the research community and related industries are not fully aware of the available techniques. Advanced Micro-Level Experimental Techniques for Food Drying and Processing Applications fills this gap. The book has been written based on the authors’ comprehensive knowledge and application of microimaging methods in the thermal processing of food. FeaturesDescribes the latest micro-level experimental methods primarily using microimaging techniquesPresents detailed procedures of applying these techniques in food processingHighlights the current challenges of developing efficient and novel food processing systems Describes the fundamentals of water transport processes and associated morphological changes during thermal processing of food materialsThis book is written for researchers chemical food and industrial engineers and advanced students seeking to solve problems of industrial food processing.
