Mass Transfer Equipment

Handbook of Food Processing Equipment

Part of the book series: Food Engineering Series ((FSES))

Abstract

Mass transfer operations are used in several food process industries in various physical separations of components from liquids or solids for recovering valuable products, or for removing undesirable food or nonfood components. They differ from mechanical separations (Chap. 5) in the controlling transport mechanism, which is mass transfer at the molecular level, while mechanical separations are based on differences in macroscopic size, shape, and density of solid particles or pieces.
