      Safety and Quality Management in Food Supply Chain

      A Farm To Fork Approach

      by Sudheer, K.P. & Bindu Lakshmanan

      Food safety and quality is a matter of international significance and a responsibility of food processors and governments in the global food supply chain. Technological interventions in food quality analysis and safety detection are advancing at tremendous rates. A comprehensive documentation to create awareness, to implement strategies and to fill up the void in research and development in safety of foods of plant and animal origin is a long standing demand of scientific and industrial communities. In this context, it is essential that the current procedures and protocols in the areas of safety and quality analysis/detection be made available in an easy to read format for the benefit of the students, analysts and researchers. The disciplinary background of the contributors range from Food Engineering, Post-harvest Technology, Food technology, Food Microbiology, Meat Technology, Veterinary Public health, Biotechnology, Biochemistry, Food Packaging and Quality management, to Community science. It covers the most common and new techniques in safety and quality analysis while addressing the relevant food safety and quality issues. Besides compiling the safety aspects of various food products viz: cereals, fruits and vegetables, milk, meat, fish, water, bakery and confectionery, this book also documents the rules, regulation and certification associated with food industry. We are sure this book will be a good reading material for academia and industry in food processing sector.

      Food Process Engineering and Technology

      by Aakash Pare & B.L.Mandhyan

      "Food Process Engineering focuses on the design, operation and maintenance of chemical and other process manufacturing activities. The development of "Agro Processing" will spur agricultural diversification. There are several benefits of promoting small scale agro-processing units rather large scale for the promotion of rural entrepreneurship. Appropriate post harvest management and value addition to agricultural products, in their production catchments, will lead to employment and income generation in the rural sector and minimize the losses of harvested biomass. Adoption of suitable technology plays a vital role in fixing the cost of the final product and consequently makes the venture, a profitable one. It is observed that imported agro-processing machines or their imitations are used for preparing food products. Actually, the working of these machines should be critically studied in context of the energy input and the quality of the finished product."

      Energy Consumption and Environmental Pollution

      by V. Vijaya Lakshmi

      The increasing energy demands of contemporary society remain unmet, resulting in a growing negative impact on the environment. It is noteworthy that people typically spend a considerable amount of time indoors, where a substantial quantity of energy is consumed and pollution is generated. In this regard, experts in the field of interior design must prioritize energy conservation and environmental protection. This can be accomplished by implementing various techniques, such as using energy-efficient technologies based on renewable resources, incorporating eco-friendly design elements, and adopting sustainable construction and daily practices. The primary objective of this book is to educate individuals and organizations dedicated to environmental protection about the necessity of and approaches to reducing energy usage and environmental pollution in indoor spaces. Moreover, it provides practical advice for individuals to conserve energy and minimize indoor pollution. Students, specifically, can benefit from this book by gaining a deeper comprehension of their role in safeguarding the environment.
