Advances in Food Dehydration

Dehydration is a traditional food preservation method that has advanced significantly in past decades as a result of new dehydration methods, sophisticated analytical techniques, and improved mathematical modeling. Advances in Food Dehydration provides a practical understanding of dehydration and the latest developments in the food industry. This book explains the structural and physic-chemical changes that food undergoes during dehydration and discusses ways to optimize natural resources. Non-convectional heating sources such as microwaves, infrared, and radio frequency are described. The text also examines the impact of drying on nutraceutical compounds, the bases of rehydration of dry food particles and the stresses on microorganisms during drying and their stability during storage.
