Handbook of Research on Food Processing and Preservation Technologies

<p>The <i>Handbook of Research on Food Processing and Preservation Technologies</i> covers a vast abundance of information on various design development and applications of novel and innovative strategies for food processing and preservation. The roles and applications of minimal processing techniques (such as ozone treatment vacuum drying osmotic dehydration dense phase carbon dioxide treatment pulsed electric field and high-pressure assisted freezing) are discussed along with a wide range of applications. The handbook also explores some exciting computer-aided techniques emerging in the food processing sector such as robotics radio frequency identification (RFID) three-dimensional food printing artificial intelligence etc. Some emphasis has also been given on nondestructive quality evaluation techniques (such as image processing terahertz spectroscopy imaging technique near infrared Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy technique etc.) for food quality and safety evaluation. The significant roles of food properties in the design of specific foods and edible films have been elucidated as well.</p><p>Volume 5: Emerging Techniques for Food Processing Quality and Safety Assurance discusses various emerging techniques for food preservation formulation and nondestructive quality evaluation techniques. Each chapter covers major aspects pertaining to principles design and applications of various food processing methods such as low temperature-based-ultrasonic drying of foods hypobaric processing of foods viability of high-pressure technology application of pulsed electric fields in food preservation green nanotechnology for food processing and preservation advanced methods of encapsulation basics and methods of food authentication imaging techniques for quality inspection of spices and nuts FTIR coupled with chemometrics for food quality and safety and the use of robotic engineering for quality and safety.</p><p>Other volumes in the 5-volume set include:</p><p>Volume 1: Nonthermal and Innovative Food Processing Methods</p><p>Volume 2: Nonthermal Food Preservation and Novel Processing Strategies</p><p>Volume 3: Computer-Aided Food Processing and Quality Evaluation Techniques</p><p>Volume 4: Design and Development of Specific Foods Packaging Systems and Food Safety</p><p>Together with the other volumes in the set the <i>Handbook of Research on Food Processing and Preservation Technologies</i> will be a valuable resource for researchers scientists students growers traders processors industries and others.</p>
