Advances in Fruit Processing Technologies

No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781439851524

One of the main concerns of the food industry is the need for high-quality fresh fruits and fruit products with good sensory quality, long shelf life, and high nutritional value. To meet these demands, new processing technologies are under investigation and development. Advances in Fruit Processing Technologies incorporates fundamentals in food processing as well as the advances made in recent years to improve final product quality.

With contributions from a panel of international researchers who present a blend of classical and emerging technologies, the book explores:

  • Ozone, ultrasound, irradiation, pulsed electric field, vacuum frying, and high-pressure processing
  • Ultraviolet and membrane processing
  • Enzymatic maceration, freeze concentration, and refrigeration
  • The effect of processing on sensory characteristics and nutritional value
  • New trends in modified atmosphere packaging
  • The use of fruit juices as a vehicle for probiotic microorganisms
  • Prebiotic oligosaccharides as an alternative for dairy products

Incorporating a series of case studies on the application of various technologies, the book reviews their advantages, limitations, successes, and failures. The contributors also examine the implications of food processing technologies on waste production, energy use, and resource requirements. This comprehensive survey of methods for optimizing fruit quality is an ideal resource for those in the fruit and vegetable industry looking for innovations that can improve efficiency, reduce waste, and cut costs.

Applications of Membrane Technology for Food Processing Industries
<p>Membranes processing techniques are used to help separate chemical components based on molecular size under specific pressure. A great advantage of membrane processing techniques is that it is a non-thermal processing technique, which can retain enormous bioactive constituents to a greater extent. Being a less energy intensive process, this technique is widely used in several food processing industries such as in the clarification of fruit juices and wine&#x3b; the concentration of milk&#x3b; the preparation of whey protein concentrate&#x3b; and water and waste treatment, among others. </p><p>Applications of Membrane Technology for Food Processing Industries introduces membrane processing techniques, presenting principles, theory and operational conditions for achieving efficient quality product. It discusses different types of membrane processing techniques viz. reverse osmosis, nanofiltration, ultrafiltration, electro dialysis, microfiltration, pervaporation, including its applications, advantages and disadvantages.</p><p>Key Features: </p><ul> <p> </p> <li>Deals with the retention of antioxidants by using novel membrane processing techniques </li> <p> </p> <li>Includes the application of membrane processing techniques in whey processing</li> <p> </p> <li>Explains the method for degumming, dewaxing and decolorization of edible crude oils</li> <p> </p> <li>Narrates application of membrane processing techniques in waste water treatment for efficient use</li> </ul><p>Readers, such as professors, scientist, research scholars, students and industrial personnel, will come to know about the current trends in use of membrane processing techniques for its application in several food processing industries. This book can be a ready reference for the food industrial industry for manufacturing of deacidified clarified fruit juices and wine by using integrated membrane technique approach.</p><p>In a nutshell, this book will benefit food scientist, academicians, students and food industrial persons by providing in-depth knowledge about membrane processing of foods for quality retention and also for efficient consumer acceptability.</p>
