Opis

Infrared heating offers many advantages in food processing, such as uniform heating. Over the past two decades, researchers have made significant progress in understanding the infrared heating of food products and interactions between infrared radiation and food components. The design and efficiency of infrared emitters have also been improved. This book presents the latest applications of infrared heating technology, focusing on thermal processing of food and agricultural products. In addition to the fundamentals, the text includes chapters that address such topics as infrared heating system design, drying, blanching, baking, thawing, pest management, and food safety improvement.
