Food processing and preservation is concerned with the transformation of raw or cooked food into products that can be stored, packaged and marketed. The emerging trends in food processing and preservation aim to maintain the nutritional quality of food and minimize food wastage. Some of the common practices of this field include pasteurization, mincing, canning, liquefaction among many others. This book is a comprehensive study of food processing and preservation methods and the suitability of each with reference to the nature of food. The various studies that are constantly contributing towards advancing technologies and evolution of this field are examined here. Students and researchers in the areas of food science and food process engineering will find this book a valuable source of information.
