Food Process Engineering - Emerging Trends in Research and Their Applications - Grand Format

This new volume provides a global perspective of present-age frontiers in food process engineering research, innovation, and emerging trends. Divided into five parts, the hook presents new research on - new trends and technologies in food processing ; - ultrasonic treatment of foods ; - foods for specific needs ; - food preservation ; - food hazards and their controls. Covering a selection of emerging trends, the authors present new research on food packaging technology, including technology-based drying.
freezing, and thawing of foods, as well as industrial, solar, novel, and infrared methods. The volume includes chapters on ultrasonic-assisted derivatization of fatty acids from edible oils and determination by GC-MS and the principles of ultrasonic technology for treatment of milk and milk products. The book also highlights specific food topics, such as natural food colors, the use of pseudocereals, and nufraceutical and functional foods for cardiovascular health.
ABOUT THE EDITORS. Murlidhar Meghwal, PhD, is a distinguished researcher, engineer, teacher, and professor at the Food Technology Division at the Centre for Emerging Technologies, Jain Global Campus, at Jain University, in Bangalore, India. Dr. Meghwal is working on developing inexpensive, disposable, and biodegradable food containers using agricultural wastes ; quality improvement, quality attribute optimization, and freeze-drying or milk.
He has two books and many research papers publication in his credit, and he is a reviewer and an editorial board of several journals. Megh R. Loyal, PhD, PE, is a Retired Professor in Agricultural and Biomedical Engineering from the General Engineering Department in the College of Engineering at University of Puerto Rice—Mayaguez Campus. The first agricultural engineer to receive a professional license in agricultural engineering from the College of Engineers and Surveyors of Puerto Rico, he was proclaimed the "Father of Irrigation Engineering in Puerto Rico for the twentieth century" by the ASABE, Puerto Rico Section, for his pioneering work on micro irrigasen, evapotranspiration, agroclimatology, and soil and water engineering.
