Description

Extraction Processes in the Food Industry, a volume in the Unit Operations and Processing Equipment in the Food Industry series, explains the processing operations and equipment necessary for extraction of different food ingredients and nutraceuticals, including conventional and modern extraction techniques. These processes and unit operations are very important in the manufacture of products such as edible oils, sugars, coffee, tea, essential oils, and other products.Divided in three sections, "Different extraction equipment and technologies," "Application of extraction in the food industry," and "Design, control and efficiency of extraction systems," all chapters emphasize basic texts relating to experimental, theoretical, computational, and/or applications of food engineering principles and the relevant processing equipment for extraction unit operations.Written by food engineering experts, Extraction Processes in the Food Industry is a useful resource for industrial engineers working in the field of food processing and within food factories, providing information on particular food processing operations and equipment.

Key features

  • Thoroughly explores novel applications of extraction unit operations in food industries
  • Helps readers improve the quality and safety of food ingredients using optimum extraction processes
  • Brings different alternatives for extraction operations

Readership

Technologists, researchers, investors, government officials, and all the people concerned with food processing operations, Undergraduate and graduate students in Food Science and Technology, Mechanical, Electrical, Chemical, and Industrial Engineers working in the field of food processing and within food factories to make them more familiar with the particular food processing operations and equipment
