Integrated Food and Bioprocess Engineering

Abstract

This book covers different aspects of food bioprocess engineering for value-added food production and waste management. The various topics presented include food biotechnology and bioprocess engineering, fermenter and bioreactor design, studies related to unit operations, and food safety and regulatory issues for safe and nutritious food product development using novel biotechnology and bioprocessing technologies. The book also addresses food industry waste utilization for first-, second-, and third-generation biofuel production, as well as biodegradable packaging materials. This book: Includes the basic principles of both biotechnology and bioprocess engineering related to food preservation and product development. Covers unit operations such as membrane filtration, chromatography, cocrys
