Extensively revised, reorganized, and expanded from 25 to 44 chapters, the Handbook of Food Preservation, Second Edition remains the definitive resource on food preservation.
Handbook of Food Preservation emphasizes practical, cost-effective, and safe-strategies for implementing preservation techniques and dissects the exact mode or mechanism involved in each method by highlighting the effects on food properties.
Features:
- Presents fundamental and practical aspects of preservation methods
- Emphasizes practical, cost-effective, and safe strategies for implementing preservation techniques
- Highlights the effect of each method on food properties
- Covers cutting-edge techniques such as controlled-atmosphere packaging, glass transition and state diagram, ultrasound, ohmic heating, and antioxidant additives
- Expands coverage of topics to 44 chapters
