• Sommario/riassunto: The second edition of the Food Processing Handbook presents a comprehensive review of technologies, procedures and innovations in foodprocessing, stressing topics vital to the food industry today and pinpointing the trends in future research and development.Focusing on the technology involved, this handbook describes the principles and the equipment used as well as the changes ? physical,chemical, microbiological and organoleptic ? that occur during food preservation. In so doing, the text covers in detail such techniques aspost-harvest handling, thermal processing, evapora
