The Microwave Processing of Foods
Author: Helmar Schubert
Publisher: Taylor & Francis US
ISBN: 9781855739642
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
With its advantages over conventional thermal processing, microwave processing has proved a versatile technology. From an international team of contributors, this book reviews the wealth of recent research on how this processing can affect particular foods and how it can be optimized for the food industry. Divided into three parts, the first part begins by discussing the dielectric properties of particular foods and how microwave processing acts on and effects nutritional quality. Building on this foundation, Part two reviews a range of applications of microwave processing from baking and drying, to blanching, thawing, and tempering. It also looks at packaging issues with regard to temperature distribution, passive and active packaging options and future trends. The final part covers the key area of process measurement to reduce variables and increase control to ensure consistent and uniform heating of food products.

Thermal Processing of Foods
Author: K. P. Sandeep
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470960272
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 222
Book Description
The food industry has utilized automated control systems for over a quarter of a century. However, the past decade has seen an increase in the use of more sophisticated software-driven, on-line control systems, especially in thermal processing unit operations. As these software-driven control systems have become more complex, the need to validate their operation has become more important. In addition to validating new control systems, some food companies have undertaken the more difficult task of validating legacy control systems that have been operating for a number of years on retorts or aseptic systems. Thermal Processing: Control and Automation presents an overview of various facets of thermal processing and packaging from industry, academic, and government representatives. The book contains information that will be valuable not only to a person interested in understanding the fundamental aspects of thermal processing (eg graduate students), but also to those involved in designing the processes (eg process specialists based in food manufacturing) and those who are involved in process filing with USDA or FDA. The book focuses on technical aspects, both from a thermal processing standpoint and from an automation and process control standpoint. Coverage includes established technologies such as retorting as well as emerging technologies such as continuous flow microwave processing. The book addresses both the theoretical and applied aspects of thermal processing, concluding with speculations on future trends and directions.
