      Book Description

      Focusing on the technology involved, this handbook describes the principles as well as the equipment used and the changes - physical, chemical, microbiological and organoleptic - that occur during food preservation. In doing so the text covers in detail such techniques as post-harvest handling, thermal processing, evaporation and dehydration, freezing, irradiation, high pressure processing, emerging technologies, baking, extrusion, frying and packaging. In addition current concerns about the safety of processed foods and control of food processes are addressed, as are the impact of processing on the environment and separation and conversion operations widely used in the food industry.
      Scientists and engineers involved in food manufacture, research and development in both industry and academia will benefit greatly from the contents as will students studying food related topics at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.

        Book Description

        The emerging technology of aseptic processing of particulate foods promises lower packaging costs and higher food quality and safety. The process, however, has yet to be regulated, and the majority of the innovative research performed in the past decade remains uncollected. Aseptic Processing of Foods Containing Solid Particulates fills this void, providing students and industry professionals a reference on how the continuous sterilization of particulate foods may be accomplished.

        The fundamental challenge of the method is simple: how to determine the temperature within a freely flowing solid piece (particle) entrained in a viscous fluid stream, considering that the fluid and solid must achieve uniform composition at outlet, and that the solid is of significant size. Aseptic Processing thoroughly incorporates the three disciplines intimately involved with this question: engineering, microbiology, and statistics. Drawing on a pair of landmark conferences, the text details critical experiments conducted with an eye toward developing uniform parameters for operation. Specific topics covered include:

        -Flow and residence time distributions of solid-liquid mixtures
        -Fluid-solid convective heat transfer
        -Statistical design and analysis and microbiological validation
        -Hazard analysis and critical control point evaluation of a multiphase food product aseptic system
        -The filing process for FDA approval

        An indispensable companion to the work and studies of engineers and university personnel, Aseptic Processing of Foods Containing Solid Particulates brings the level of scholarship equal to the level of enthusiasm for this potentially groundbreaking system.

                    Book Description

                    The challenge of maintaining both quality and safety in the thermal processing of foods results from the degradation of heat-sensitive quality attributes during processing. The editor of Thermal Food Processing: New Technologies and Quality Issues presents a comprehensive reference through authors that assist in meeting this challenge by explaining the latest developments and analyzing the latest trends in thermal food processing research and development. The book is divided into three parts for easy reference. Part I, Modeling of Thermal Food Processes, discusses the thermal physical properties of foods, recent developments in heat and mass transfer, innovative modeling techniques including artificial neural network modeling, and computational fuel dynamics. Part II, Quality and Safety of Thermally Processed Food, provides the latest research and development information used to maintain high quality and safety standards for certain types of food products including thermally processed meat, poultry, fishery products, dairy products, canned foods, and vegetables. Part III, Innovations in Thermal Food Processes, details existing, alternative thermal processing technologies, outlining their potential, future application in the food industry. These innovations include the ohmic heating technique, radio frequency energies, infrared rays, the combination of pressure and pH with thermal processing, and time-temperature integrators used in evaluating and controlling thermal processes.

                        Book Description

                        This monograph focuses on a class of problems that in effect have yet to be solved. Location, scheduling and design problems are assignment type problems with quadratic cost functions and occur in many contexts. Applications of these problems abound in diverse disciplines, such as anthropology, archeology, architecture, chemistry, computer science, economics, electronics, ergonomics, marketing, operations management, political science, statistical physics, zoology, etc. Padberg and Rijal have taken an important step in the solution of these problems. In this monograph they classify mathematical properties for ten classes of assignment problems: Quadratic Assignment Problems, Traveling Salesman Problems, Triangulation Problems, Linear Assignment Problems, VLSI Circuit Layout Design Problems, Multi-Processor Problems, Scheduling Problems with Interaction Costs, Operation-Scheduling Problems, Graph and Clique Partitioning Problems, and Boolean Quadratic Problems. They note that before these problems can be solved computationally, one must know and understand their mathematical properties. After discussing these properties, an integer programming approach is offered for solving them. The computational approach has shown considerable algorithmic success. The heart of this monograph is the theoretical work on assignment problems and the computation results that were produced using algorithms developed at NYU. The authors conclude that implementing a proper branch-and-cut algorithm on these types of problems will push the limits of exact computation far beyond the current ones.
