Finally, an up-to-date guide to cleaning and disinfection for the food preparation and processing industries.

Sanitation: Cleaning and Disinfection in the Food Industry discusses a host of examples from various food industries as well as topics universal to many industries, including biofilm formation, general sanitizing, and clean-in-place systems. Equally, the principles related to contamination, cleaning compounds, sanitizers and cleaning equipment are addressed. As a result, concepts of applied detergency are developed in order to understand and solve problems related to the cleaning and disinfection of laboratories, plants and other industrial environments where foods and beverages are prepared.

This book is for the food processing and food preparation industries.
