Handbook of food process modeling and statistical quality control : with extensive MATLAB applications

"Presenting mathematical prerequisites in summary tables, this book explains fundamental techniques of mathematical modeling processes essential to the food industry. The author focuses on providing an in-depth understanding of modeling techniques, rather than the finer mathematical points. Topics covered include modeling of transport phenomena, kinetic processes, and food engineering operations. The book also discusses statistical process analysis and quality control. It includes examples from almost every conceivable food process, most of which are based on real data given in the many references. Each example is followed by a clear, step- by-step worked solution"--Provided by publisher."The second edition of the book is substantially different from the first edition in the sense that i. The title of the book is modified following the recommendations of experts from academia and the industry. It is intended to present the book as a compendium of applications within its scope. ii. The new edition covers extensive MATLAB applications. The model equations are solved with MATLAB and the resulting figures are generated by the code. The models are compared mostly with real data from the literature. Some errors occurred while reading the data; therefore, the model parameters sometimes had different values than those of the references. iii. Tabular values and plots of mathematical functions are produced through MATLAB codes. iv. All of the MATLAB codes are given on the CD accompanying the book. A summary of the important features and functions of the MATLAB codes used in the book are given in Table 1.1. The readers may refer to this table to locate the functions or syntax they need. They may copy lines from the examples and write their own code with them. I wrote my own codes by following this procedure. I would recommend achieving each task in the code in a stepwise manner and then going on to the next task. Each task is usually defined in the examples with phrases such as x Preface % enter the data, % plot the data, % modeling, % plot the model, etc. I tried to maintain this order in the codes when possible. v. A few food processing methods (i.e., pulsed electric field and high pressure processing) gained importance after the first edition. Some examples are included to cover the development"--Provided by publisher. Read more... Content: Machine generated contents note: 1. Introduction to Process Modeling -- 1.1.
