Food Engineering Handbook (eBook, ePUB)

Food Process Engineering
Redaktion: Varzakas, Theodoros; Tzia, Constantina

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses the basic and applied principles of food engineering methods used in food processing operations. Presenting cutting-edge information on emerging food engineering processes, this text examines the thermophysical properties and modeling of selected processes such as chilling, freezing, and dehydration; discusses size reduction, mixing, emulsion, and encapsulation; includes case studies of solid-liquid and supercritical fluid extraction; and explores fermentation, enzymes, fluidized-bed drying, and more. It provides an essential reference on the modeling, quality, safety, and technologies associated with food processing operations today.

Autorenporträt

Theodoros Varzakas received a bachelor's degree in microbiology and biochemistry, MBA in food, and Ph.D in food biotechnology from Reading University, UK in 1992 and 1998, respectively. He has been a postdoctoral researcher at Reading University, worked in large pharmaceutical and multinational food companies in Greece, and possesses at least 14 years of experience in the public sector. Since 2005, he has served as an assistant and associate professor in the Department of Food Technology at the Technological Educational Institute of Peloponnese, Greece (Higher Institute of Kalamata, Greece), specializing in issues of food technology, food processing, food quality, and safety. Constantina Tzia received a diploma in chemical engineering and a Ph.D in food engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece in 1977 and 1987, respectively. His current research interests include quality and safety (HACCP) of foods, sensory evaluation, fats and oil, dairy and bakery technology, and utilization of food by-products. Professor Tzia's work has been widely published and presented, appearing in prestigious publications such as the Journal of Food Science, LWT - Food Science and Technology, Innovative Food Science and Emerging Technologies, Food and Bioprocess Technology, and Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society.
