Food Processing: Principles and Applications is a comprehensive resource that explores the basic and applied aspects of food processing. It describes the physical, chemical, and microbiological basis for each method of preservation. Particular emphasis is placed on the application of three of the most universally used commercial processes: t
Best practices for preserving quality and consumer appeal of fresh fruits, vegetables Clarifies calculations for efficient cooling, controlled ripening and storage Presents strategies for reducing microbial risks and post-harvest pathologies A comprehensive introduction to established and emergent post-harvest technologies, this text shows how to enhance the value of perishable fruits and vegetable by mitigating the causes of deterioration and spoilage from farm to point of purchase. After investigating the structural, chemical and nutritional properties of fruits and vegetables, the book provides a step-by-step explanation of processing from machine harvesting through handling, ripening technologies, packaging and distribution. Emphasis is placed on ways to collect data needed to monitor quality. Psychrometric principles and their role in cold storage systems are presented along with calculations enabling effective refrigeration and control of transpiration, humidity and gases. The book includes examples and calculations for improving process control and predicting the shelf-life of temperate-climate and tropical fruits and vegetables.
Development goals are essential and pre-conditions for sustainable development for which 191 United Nations members have gathered together for the adoption of United Nations Millennium Declaration in 2000. Accordingly, countries have taken decision to achieve the following goals such as: - eradicate extreme poverty and hunger;- achieve universal primary education;- promote gender and equality and empower women;- reduce child mortality;- improve maternal health;- combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases;- ensure environmental sustainability; and- develop a global partnership for development.CONTENTS: Chapter I - Introduction, Chapter II - Genesis of Millennium Development Goals, Chapter III - Review and Appraisal of Literature, Chapter IV - Analysis of MDGs: A Case of Poverty and Hunger in India, Chapter V - Summary of Major Findings, Suggestions and Conclusions, Bibliography, Index.
There has been a perceptible advance in the dynamics and mechanics of academic research which has been focused along with the micro-approach. Energy is an obvious input in all types of human activities and the use if energy in household sector is an inseparable part of human existence. The food we eat, the fruits we consume, the water we drink, all have energy and by eating, drinking, we get energy to do our daily work and carry on our human existence. In other words, any society s ability to survive depends on its continued access to energy in appropriate quantities and at aceeptable costs. This book, perhaps, is the first attempt in viewing different regions in district as a total segment. It is emphasised in this book that household energy problems should be tackled on a massive scale in consonance with the availability of energy resources, agro - climate conditions, characteristics of the population inhabiting these areas, and the peculiarities of their socio-cultural structures. This book, written by the field level researchers of Gandhigram Rural Institute, provides many practical insights and thoughtful consideration of important aspects of household energy consumption in order to formulate a micro-level energy model.
