Full Description

Packaging Operations in the Food Industry, a volume in the Unit Operations and Processing Equipment in the Food Industry series, explains the processing operations and equipment necessary for the packaging of different food products including conventional and modern packaging techniques. These processes and unit operations are important in the manufacture of various food products.

Divided in four sections, "Principles of packaging ", "Different stages of packaging", "Different packaging operations", and "Novel packaging processes", all chapters emphasize basic texts relating to experimental, theoretical, computational, and/or applications of food engineering principles and the relevant processing equipment to packaging unit operations.
Written by experts in the field of food engineering, in a simple and dynamic way, this book targets industrial Engineers working in the field of food processing and within food factories to make them more familiar with the food processing operations and equipment.
