From the Back CoverBased on the authors' many years of experience in teaching food engineering to food science students,
Introduction to Food Engineering 4[sup]th[/sup] edition clearly present the concepts and unit operations used in food processing using a unique and challenging blend of principles and application.
Each chapter opens with a description of the application of a particular principle, then develops the quantitative relationships that define the related processes. Student comprehension is tested through the presentation of solved-examples and self-test problems. This proven structure encourages critical thinking and problem solving, with emphasis on the application of principles using the example problems.
Created specifically with a typical food engineering course curriculum in mind, the authors have carefully selected illustrations of engineering principles that demonstrate the relationship of engineering to the chemistry, microbiology, nutrition and processing of foods.
