Hygienic Design of Food Factories, Second Edition includes updates on existing chapters, along with new sections on cold storage, the control of air in food refrigeration facilities, and prevention of contamination when building during production and regulations in Asian countries (other than Japan). Sections cover the implications of hygiene and construction regulation in various countries on food factory design, describe site selection, factory layout and the associated issue of airflow, and address the hygienic design of essential parts of a food factory, including walls, ceilings, floors, selected utility and process support systems, entry and exit points, storage areas, and more. With its distinguished editors and international team of contributors, this book continues to be an essential reference for managers of food factories, food plant engineers, and all those with an academic research interest in the field.
