Food Engineering: Integrated Approaches (Food Engineering Series) - Tapa dura

From the reviews:

"This book, edited by Gutiérrez-López (National Polytechnic Institute of Mexico) and others, is a collection of 34 articles that resulted from an effort to integrate food engineering through a comprehensive cooperative program of the Ibero-American Program on Science and Technology for Development. ... is a significant addition to the food engineering literature and will be useful for those involved in food engineering research, teaching, and industrial practice. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and up." (L. E. Erickson, CHOICE, Vol. 45 (11), August, 2008)

This book presents a significant and up-to-date review of various integrated approaches to food engineering. Distinguished food engineers and food scientists from key institutions worldwide have contributed chapters that provide a deep analysis of their particular subjects. Emerging technologies and biotechnology are introduced, and the book discusses predictive microbiology, packing materials for foods, and biodegradable films. This book is mainly directed to academics, and to undergraduate and postgraduate students in food engineering and food science and technology, who will find a selection of topics.
