Full Description
This text is based on the invited presentations at the XIII Ibero-American Congress of Food Engineering (CIBIA XIII) which was held in Medellín, Colombia, in March 2022. Invited presentations were delivered by renowned food engineers worldwide and covered the latest on classic and novel topics driving food process engineering. The selected topics are centered on how food process engineering is addressing new challenges related to technical, social, economic and environmental realities.
Selected Topics in Food Process Engineering covers important ground in current and future food processing, including:
Food engineering contributions to health, environment and quality of life
The role of food engineering during pandemics
Modeling of food processes
Clean technologies for the processing and preservation of foods
Alternative thermal and nonthermal processes, challenges and opportunities to the food industry
Advancesin the characterization of food properties
Nanotechnology in food processing
Starch digestion
Extraction processes in the food industry
Food factory of the future
This text serves as an inspirational tool for future research in food engineering and beyond as it promotes the well-being of the population in terms of adequate food supply by bridging engineering knowledge, the food chain and the fourth industrial revolution.
