Food Processing: Principles and Applications

Back

A renowned consortium of academicians and industry professionals from across North America has collaborated to create Food Processing: Principles and Applications. This practical, fully illustrated textbook examines the principles of food processing and demonstrates their application by describing the stages and operations for manufacturing different categories of basic food products. Ideal as an undergraduate text, Food Processing stands apart in three ways. First, the collection of expertise of the contributing authors is unparalleled among food processing texts today. Second, the book is student-friendly since it is written for non-engineers from the perspectives of contributors who are mostly non-engineers. Finally, Food Processing is one of the rare books in the last decade to use commodity manufacturing to illustrate the principles of food processing.
