Extraction is an important operation in food engineering, enabling
the recovery of valuable soluble components from raw materials.
With increasing energy costs and environmental concerns, industry
specialists are looking for improved techniques requiring less
solvents and energy consumption. Enhancing Extraction Processes in
the Food Industry is a comprehensive resource providing clear
descriptions of the latest extraction methods and instruments used
in food laboratories. The book begins with an overview of solvent
extraction technology. It examines pulsed electric fields and their
effect on food engineering, and the potential and limitations of
microwave-assisted extraction. It explores diffusion processes and
reviews what is known about electrical discharge processes in the
extraction of biocompounds. Next, the book summarizes current
knowledge on conventional and innovative techniques for the
intensification of extractions from food and natural products,
focusing on environmental impacts. It reviews recent developments
in supercritical CO2 extraction of food and food products,
describes the pressurized hot water extraction (PHWE) process, and
examines future trends for PHWE. The book also examines essential
oil extraction, and the tools and techniques of high
pressure-assisted extraction. The authors demonstrate its
application using litchi and longan fruits as examples. The final
chapters focus on extrusion-assisted extraction, gas-assisted
mechanical expression, mechanochemically assisted extraction,
reverse micellar extraction, and aqueous two-phase extraction. The
book concludes with a chapter on the treatment of soybeans through
enzyme-assisted aqueous processing, examining the economics
involved as well as the development of the process. A solid review
of modern approaches that enhance extraction processes, this volume
is destined to pave the way for future research and development in
the field.
