Postharvest Technology and Food Process Engineering

Now in its third edition, this book examines engineering principles, problems, designs, testing, and other practical aspects of various grain dryers, milling machines and furnaces. It also explores the utilization of by-products and biomass of post-harvest management of fruits and vegetables and other chemicals and value-added products. The book is an introduction for students, professionals, and others engaged in agricultural science and engineering as well as food science and technology-particularly in the field of primary processing of cereals, pulses, fruits, and vegetables. It features three new chapters that cover fruit and vegetable process engineering, food chemistry, and food engineering operations.
