Emerging Technologies in Food Preservation
Giới thiệu về sách điện tử này
Emerging Technologies in Food Preservation discusses the innovations and advancements in food processing and preservation that have emerged over the last two decades of the 21st century. Various experts in the field examine different innovative food processing and preservation technologies, including non-thermal and minimal processing technologies, particularly those that have least destructive impact on micronutrients.
Key Features:
- Describes the hurdles and challenges in commercialization of these novel processing technologies, including their legal ramifications on food regulations and legislations.
- Provides detail accounts of application of each of the novel food preservation principles, as they are applied in commercial food processing / food manufacturing lines worldwide.
- Features a complete account on recent developments and advancements in food preservation and processing technologies, including natural and biopreservatives
Mindful of the increasing interest in alternatives to traditional thermal processing of foods and beverages, this book is a valuable reference for students, scholars, researchers, scientists, food entrepreneurs, as well as technical professionals working in food industries and associated businesses.
