Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd Fundamentals of Non-Thermal Processes for Food Preservation 1st Edition 2022 Hardbound by Chakraborty, Snehasis
The ten chapters of this textbook, written in a simple but scientific language, encompass all the non-thermal treatments in-depth, from basic concepts to technological advances. The book provides complete study material in a single source including such pedagogical features as multiple-choice questions, solved numerical problems, and short questions. The book begins with a general introduction to the evolution of the non-thermal technique for food preservation. The fundamental mechanism of thermal inactivation of microorganisms and enzymes is discussed. In the following chapters, a set of seven non-thermal techniques have been discussed in detail. 1. Non-thermal Processes in Food Preservation. 2. High-pressure processing. 3. Pulsed Electric Field Processing. 4. Ultraviolet & Pulsed Light Treatment. 5. Power Ultrasound Processing. 6. Cold Plasma Technology 7. Ozone Processing. 8. Irradiation. 9. Oscillating Magnetic Field Processing. 10. Commercial Aspects and Challenges.
