Ultrasound (Οι υπέρηχοι στην επεξεργασία και συντήρηση τροφίμων - έκδοση στα αγγλικά)

Ultrasound
Advances in Food Processing and Preservation

Ultrasound is an emerging technology that has been widely explored in food
science and technology since the late 1990s.
The book is divided into three main areas.Chapters 1 to 5 focus on the basic principles of ultrasound and how the technology works on microbial cells, enzymes, and the chemistry behind the process. Chapters 6 to 15 cover the application of ultrasound in specific food products and processes, discussing changes on food quality and presenting some innovations in food ingredients and enhancement of unit operations. Finally, Chapters 16 to 20 present some topics about manufacture of ultrasound equipment and simulation of the process, the use of the technology to treat food industry wastewater, and an industry perspective. The laws and regulations concerning emerging technologies, such as ultrasound, are also discussed, including the new Food Safety Modernization Act.
