Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/affcontent/?tt=3721_135171_69066_&r=/research/aa2068a1/food_processing_ha) has announced the addition of John Wiley and Sons Ltd's new book "Food Processing Handbook, 2nd Edition, 2 Volume Set" to their offering.

Research and Markets: Food Processing Handbook, 2nd Edition, 2 Volume Set

Dublin, Ireland | Posted on April 3rd, 2012

Focusing on the technology involved, this handbook describes the principles and the equipment used as well as the changes - physical, chemical, microbiological and organoleptic - that occur during food preservation. In so doing, the text covers in detail such techniques as post-harvest handling, thermal processing, evaporation and dehydration, freezing, irradiation, high-pressure processing, emerging technologies, baking, extrusion, frying and packaging. In addition, it addresses current concerns about the safety of processed foods and control of food processes, as well as the impact of processing on the environment and separation and conversion operations widely used in the food industry.

NEW TO THIS EDITION

This 2nd edition has 35 % new material. The entire handbook has been revised, update and expanded and includes 9 entirely new chapters, ranging from Emerging Technologies to the Use of Enzymes to Traceability to Nanotechnology.
