This comprehensive book deals with grain properties, engineering principles, numerical problems, designs, and testing and provides illustrations and descriptions of the operations of various commercial grain dryers, milling machines, and furnaces, as well as utilization of by-products/biomass for producing energy, chemicals, food, feed, and other value-added products. Adequate emphasis has been placed on postharvest management, food chemistry, preservation and processing of fruits and vegetables, and relevant food engineering operations, namely, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, drying, and associated machines.
The major aim of this book is to serve as a text or as a reference book for students, professionals, and others engaged in agricultural science and food engineering, food science, and technology in the field of primary processing of cereals, pulses, fruits, and vegetables.
