This is a comprehensive book the contents of which have been designed keeping in mind the courses in food biotechnology for the students pursuing undergraduate and postgraduate courses in life sciences and chemical engineering. It can be used as a self-study book for chemical engineers and biological scientists who have limited background in food processing and technology.
The book focuses on application of concepts in chemical engineering and biological sciences in the field of food science and technology. Initial chapters emphasize more on the concepts and applications of biological sciences in food industry and the latter section concentrates on the utility of chemical engineering in food technology. It will be a useful guide for biologists and a quick reference for engineers on the latest topics in food science and technology including food biochemistry food microbiology food processing production and preservation technologies food quality assurance and standards and role of biotechnology in food industry. It will also serve as a useful reference for the professionals in food and related industries as well as the teachers handling food processing and technology related courses at the BE/B.Tech or MSc / M.Tech levels.

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
