Add to basketBiosystems engineering as an integrated science combines the fields of engineering design and analysis with biological sciences to provide solutions for food production and processing problems. Since food production is an ever-growing, constantly changing food engineering frontier, it is faced with a range of dynamic problems. This new book, Biosystems Engineering Applications for Quality Food Production: Waste Valorization and New Product Development, shows how the two areas of biosystems engineering and food industry come together in an interdisciplinary way to offer solutions to these problems.
The book presents the most recent advances in these two areas, ranging from the use of biodigesters, bioremediation of effluents from the food industry, use of microorganisms to produce polymers and their applications, waste recovery, new products development, new applications for new varieties of crops, replacement of fats in food, improvement in bovine production, and production and harvesting microalgae and cyanobacteria. It includes current topics that include the application of biosystems for food processing, the revaluation of agro-industrial waste, bioremediation systems, as well as new trends in the development of food from start to finish. The book also discusses the generation of value-added products and new functional foods.
This informative book is a compendium of the use and application of biosystems in the food industry―from primary production to processing, waste evaluation, and bioremediation, that is, an integral food production system. As such, the book will serve as a guide for those involved in the fields of biotechnology and agricultural sciences. It will also prove useful for undergraduate and postgraduate students and those in the agro-industrial sector.
Romeo Rojas, PhD, is Professor at the School of Agronomy, Autonomous University of Nuevo León, Mexico, as well as Coordinator of the Research Center and Development for Food Industries. His research and teaching are in food, biotechnology, and agricultural sciences. Dr. Rojas is currently working on several research and collaboration projects funded by the Agricultural Secretariat of Mexico, the National Forestry Commission, and the National Mexican Research Council. He has published over 20 original research papers in indexed journals and 16 book chapters and has participated in and contributed to over 50 scientific meetings. He is a member of the Mexican Society of Biotechnology and Bioengineering (SMBB), the National System of Researchers (SNI) (since 2015 [level I]), and other organizations. He directed one PhD thesis, two MSc theses, and four BSc theses. Dr. Rojas became a Food Science and Technology Engineer (2007) from the Autonomous Agrarian University Antonio Narro, with specialization in agricultural sciences. His PhD degree in Food Science and Technology was awarded in 2013 by the Autonomous University of Coahuila, Mexico.
