FOOD ENGINEERING RESEARCH
DEVELOPMENTS

Food engineering refers to the engineering aspects of food production and processing.
Food engineering includes, but is not limited to, the application of agricultural engineering
and chemical engineering principles to food materials. Genetic engineering of plants and
animals is not normally the work of a food engineer. Food engineering is a very wide field of
activities. Among its domain of knowledge and action are: Design of machinery and
processes to produce foods Design and implementation of food safety and preservation
measures in the production of foods Biotechnological processes of food production Choice
and design of food packaging materials Quality control of food production. This new book
deals with food engineering research from around the globe.
