Transport Phenomena in Food Processing

The only in-depth reference that focuses on transport phenomena in food processes this book provides a review of the current knowledge of each transport phenomenon, a presentation of basic concepts, explanation of theoretical aspects; practical discussion of specific research, and references. Specifically developed for food engineers, the book covers fundamentals of transport phenomena, mass transfer in food preservation, heat transfer in food processing, simultaneous transfer of heat, momentum and mass in food processes, heat transfer in food processing, mass transfer in food conservation, and simultaneous transfer of heat and mass in food processes.
