Chemical Engineering in the Food Process Industry

The food industry is a complex, global collective of diverse businesses that supply much of the food energy consumed by the world population. Chemical engineering principles are being increasingly applied to the design and control of food processing plants. Modern techniques are used to improve the flavor, texture, nutritional value, safety, appearance and overall aesthetic appeal of various foods. Chemical engineers have invented a variety of engineered processes that allow food processors to remove impure substances to improve food quality, safety, and aesthetics. This in turn requires in-depth knowledge of the principles of microstructure formation and its role on functionality. In this book, the role of chemical engineering in food processing industries have been presented where different types of filtration are the key factor.
