Advances in food processing continue to take place as foodscientists and food engineers adapt to the challenges imposed byemerging pathogens, environmental concerns, and shelf life,quality, safety, and dietary needs and demands of humans. Inaddition to covering food processing principles that have beenessential to food quality and safety since the beginning of time,this edition of Food Processing: Principles and Applications,unlike the former edition, covers microbial/enzyme inactivationkinetics, alternative food processing technologies as well asenvironmental and sustainability issues currently facing the foodprocessing industry.The book is divided into two sections, the first focusing onprinciples of food processing and handling, and the second onprocessing technologies and applications.? The chapters in thefirst section, Principles of Food Processing and Handling, will berelatively general but will focus on food processing and foodsafety principles essential in the food industry. Section Ichapters will generally follow this organizational structure: Background informationintroduction; history; factsand figures; definitions Operations, procedures, and food safety principles relatedto this processing categoryThe chapters in the second section, Processing Technologies andApplications, will be organized by commodity group and will examinethe general manufacturing processes, taking in the raw commodities,ingredients and final product, and will include three or fivespecific applications that fit into the given category. Section IIchapters will routinely follow this structure: Background informationintroduction; history; factsand figures; definitions Raw materials and ingredients preparation selection, scaling and specifications of ingredients;pre-processing Processingunit operations; production procedures;manufacturing steps; stage by stage activities Finished productsquality assurance/control;post-processing activities; packaging for about three finishedproducts that fit in the category
