Opis

Balancing coverage of chemical engineering and food technology issues, this text discusses the design of the food processing system and the industrial food plant. Including modeling procedures for food processing systems and auxiliary systems, the authors discuss synthesis techniques and procedures to structure information and data on different food processing alternatives. They also cover food factory optimization and experimentation in the food plant. The book outlines solutions to plant design problems in the context of overall optimization of an agro-industrial system and corresponding food chain. It provides the work procedures and techniques needed to solve design problems.
