Opis

Food Process Engineering: Thermal and Chemical Operations pursues a logical sequence in its coverage of industrial processing of food. Use of heat in its various forms is addressed first. Chemically-driven separation is discussed next. This book places a major emphasis on a phenomenological understanding, rather than empirical description.
