Food & Process Engineering Technology

by Luther R. Wilhelm, Dwayne Allen Suter, Gerald H. Brusewitz

Wilhelm (biosystems engineering and environmental science, U. of Tennessee, Knoxville) et al. present a textbook for non-engineers wanting to use engineering ideas in food processing, handling, and storage work. Chapters can be used separately and have individual references. They cover problem-solving, physical properties and texture of food, fluid flow, heat transfer, thermal processing, refrigeration systems, psychometrics, drying and dehydration, and energy use. An errata sheet is enclosed with the first printing. Annotation ©2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
