Comprehensive Assessment of This Globally Relevant Practice As a
centuries-old food preservation method, dehydration technology has
advanced significantly in the past decades as a result of new
methods, sophisticated analytical techniques, and improved
mathematical modeling. Providing practical and expert insight from
an international panel of experts, Advances in Food Dehydration
encompasses these revolutionary advances and effectively supplies
the knowledge base required to optimize natural resources and
reduce energy requirements in order to meet growing demand for
low-cost, high-quality food products. Discusses Ways to Best
Optimize Natural Resources Under the editorial guidance of food
engineering and dehydration authority Cristina Ratti, this resource
addresses the three biggest challenges associated with food
dehydration: The complex nature of food systems together with the
deep structural and physico-chemical changes that foodstuffs
undergo during processing The difficulty to define quality in
quantitative terms and to develop appropriate control techniques
The lack of realistic models and simulations to represent the
phenomena The book's well-developed chapters explain the structural
and physico-chemical changes that food undergoes during
dehydration, while discussing ways to optimize natural resources.
In addition to describing non-convectional heating sources such as
microwaves, infrared, and radio frequency, the text also examines
the impact of drying on nutraceutical compounds, the bases of
rehydration of dry food particles and the stresses on
microorganisms during drying and their stability during storage.
Advances in Food Dehydration is a user-friendly volume that
concisely links the gamut of dehydration concepts into one cohesive
reference.
