Food Processing Operations Modeling

The second edition of Food Processing Operations Modeling focuses on novel processing technologies relevant to food safety and quality as well as new commercialized computational fluid dynamics software to model complex food processing systems. Addressing engineering principles and backed by numerical approaches, this edition features new chapters that provide in-depth coverage of high-pressure processing design and analysis, pulsed electric field processing and modeling, radio frequency heating, ozone treatment, and UV pasteurization of food materials. The text updates new information on infrared heating of biological materials as well as modeling electrical resistance heating of foods.
