Food Physics deals with the physical properties of food, food ingredients and their measurement. Physical properties of food play a key role in all fields where modern technological processes are applied for the generation of food raw materials and the production of food. The determination of physical properties of food and related products are a pre-requisite for planning, production engineering and automation processes in today s food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries as well as in all related quality control activities.

This book is designed to explain and illustrate how food processing op- erations can be made more efficient and profitable through the application of computers in the laboratory, pilot plant, and production plant floor of industrial food processing plants. It is intended to provide a sufficient un- derstanding of how computer system concepts can be applied to food pro- cessing operations to permit technical managers, with the assistance of food engineering professionals, to identify, develop, and implement com- puter applications to meet their own specific needs. The book should also serve as...
