Radio-Frequency Heating in Food Processing: Principles and Applications: Electro-Technologies for Food Processing Series

Editat de George B. Awuah, Hosahalli S. Ramaswamy, Juming Tang
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 4 dec 2014
As the third book of a series of publications dedicated to electro-technology applications in the food processing industry, this text covers successful radio frequency applications and advances in the milk, fruit juice, poultry, meat, baking and drying industries, and other opportunities where RF heating has clear advantages over other electro-technology options. RF’s impact on nutritional, quality, food and personal safety, as well as future perspective/prospects is presented. It explains how RF applications are similar to microwave heating in several aspects and describes their differences. It also describes the niche RF fills. An appendix includes a relevant case study.
