A unique and interdisciplinary field, food processing must meet
basic process engineering considerations such as material and
energy balances, as well as the more specialized requirements of
food acceptance, human nutrition, and food safety. Food
engineering, therefore, is a field of major concern to university
departments of food science, and chemical and biological
engineering as well as engineers and scientists working in various
food processing industries. Part of the notable CRC Press
Contemporary Food Engineering series, Food Process Engineering
Operations focuses on the application of chemical engineering unit
operations to the handling, processing, packaging, and distribution
of food products. Chapters 1 through 5 open the text with a review
of the fundamentals of process engineering and food processing
technology, with typical examples of food process applications. The
body of the book then covers food process engineering operations in
detail, including theory, process equipment, engineering
operations, and application examples and problems. Based on the
authors' long teaching and research experience both in the US and
Greece, this highly accessible textbook employs simple diagrams to
illustrate the mechanism of each operation and the main components
of the process equipment. It uses simplified calculations requiring
only elementary calculus and offers realistic values of food
engineering properties taken from the published literature and the
authors' experience. The appendix contains useful engineering data
for process calculations, such as steam tables, engineering
properties, engineering diagrams, and suppliers of process
equipment. Designed as a one or two semester textbook for food
science students, Food Process Engineering Operations examines the
applications of process engineering fundamentals to food processing
technology making it an important reference for students of
chemical and biological engineering interested in food engineering,
and for scientists, engineers, and technologists working in food
processing industries.
