Handbook of Food Processing Equipment

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

Abstract

Food dehydration, a traditional method of food preservation, is also used for the production of special foods and food ingredients and for the utilization of food plant wastes. A wide variety of industrial food drying equipment is used, developed mostly empirically but continuously improved by recent advances in drying technology and food engineering. In addition to the basic process engineering requirements, food dryers must meet the strict standards for food quality and food hygiene and safety.
