Advances in Heat Transfer Unit Operations - Baking and Freezing in Bread Making - Grand Format

Advances in Heat Transfer Und Operations : Baking and Freezing in Bread Making explains the latest understanding of heat transfer phenomena involved in the baking and freezing of bread and describes the most recent advanced techniques used to produce higher quality bread with a longer shelf life. Heat transfer phenomena occur during key bread-making stages (cold storage, resting, and fermentation) in which temperature and amount of heat transfer must be carefully controlled.
This book combines the engineering and technological aspects of heat transfer operations and discusses how these operations interact with the bread making process ; the book also discusses how baking and freezing influence the product quality. - Covers the relationship between processing and biochemical changes in the product. - Includes information on the engineering and the technological (biochemical and physicochemical) aspects of the baking and freezing processes.
- Provides mathematical models used in a number of bread production tasks. - Discusses the use of certain food additives to protect bread dough during freezing. Divided into fourteen chapters, the book covers the basics of heat and mass transfer, fluid dynamics, and surface phenomena in bread-making industrial operations, mathematical modelling in porous systems, the estimation of thermo-physical properties related to bread making, design of equipment, and industrial applications.
