Herausgegeben:Cortez Vieira, Maria Margarida; Ho, Peter

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In chemical engineering and related fields, a unit operation is a basic step in a process. For example in milk processing, homogenization, pasteurization, chilling, and packaging are each unit operations which are connected to create the overall process. A process may have many unit operations to obtain the desired product. The book will cover many different unit operations as they apply to food processing.
