Industry Reviews

"Food availability and food security in the future is going to be of great concern. The gradual decrease of farm lands, resources and manpower will affect the way in which food will be available to populations. One solution for food security is minimizing post harvest losses and maximizing processing so that growing demands can be sustainably met throughout. This makes us realize that food processing techniques are extremely important to maintain quality and safe food. In this context the book on 'Technologies in Food Processing' addresses the important aspects regarding different technologies in food processing. [...] On the whole this book helps the reader to understand food processing techniques, value addition and explores ways to maintain nutritional quality and microbial safety in processed foods."
