Recent Advances in Ready-to-Eat Food Technology
Ready-to-Eat describes foods that need not be cooked, reheated, or other preparation before consuming them. Recent Advances in Ready-to-Eat Food Technology covers all the aspects of RTE from statistics, method of production, mechanization, thermal and non-thermal processing, gluten free, consumer behaviour, control of food borne illness and hygiene, packaging requirements, improved functionalization to application of nanotechnology.
Key Features:
· Covers the development of Ready-To-Eat products from meat, cereal, fruits, vegetables, dairy, and pulses
· Provides a global review of labeling and packaging for Ready-to-Eat products
· Discusses hygienic design and safety in the production and consumption, with an emphasis on pathogenicity issues
Written by a team of well recognized researchers who present the latest advances in Ready-to-Eat food product development, this book is of interest to industry professional and academician as well as to undergraduate students and postgraduate researchers.
