Providing detailed information on key areas of post-harvest technologies, this book is written with small-scale processors and entrepreneurs in food processing in mind. Uniquely it will review the hands-on aspects of food processing from a largely non-academic viewpoint. It is written in non-technical language and covers everything from the basic science of why food is processed to a description of the main methods used. The target audience for this book is vastly under-served with appropriate information and the abundant use of photographs, showing the various concepts described in the text, makes this book appealing to those required to understand their food process operations.
