From the Inside Flap

The first edition of Food processing and technology was quickly adopted as the standard text by many Food science and technology courses around the world. The publication of a completely revised and updated new edition has confirmed the position of this textbook as the best single-volume introduction to food manufacturing technologies available.

Fellows has substantially extended this second edition to include the developments in food technology that have taken place since the publication of the first edition. New chapters include computer control of processing, novel 'minimal' technologies including processing using high pressures or pulsed electric fields, Ohmic heating and an extended chapter on modified atmosphere packaging. There are also new sample problems and illustrations.

The book is split into five parts in which unit operations are grouped according to the nature of the heat transfer that takes place. Each chapter describes the theoretical and practical aspects of the unit operation including the formulae required for calculation of processing perameters, sample problems and the effects on sensory characteristics and nutritional properties of selected foods. This comprehensive book also provides an ideal reference for professionals in the food industry.
