About this title

Synopsis

This book is intended as an important work of reference for all those already engaged in or setting up a small-scale food processing enterprise. The first section comprises chapters of information on the major food processing technologies, divided by food group, including milk and milk products, meat products, cereal/pulse based products and sugar confectionery. It also includes a chapter devoted to packaging materials for the processed products. The second, catalogue section of the book, lists equipment necessary for all the processes described earlier, arranged alphabetically for ease of use. It includes essential product information, manufacturer's etails and easy-to-use price codes. Much of the equipment is clearly illustrated, and notes on certain processing operations are given (such as blanching and drying) alongside the relevant equipment. An equipment and a manufacturer's index are also provided. This is both a technical reference book and a catalogue and is written for field workers, technical advisors, and those setting up small businesses.
