Novel Processes and Control Technology in the Food Industry

by Frank Bozoglu, Tibor Deak, Bibek Ray

Overview

The proceedings of a NATO Advanced Study Institute held in Kemer, Turkey in September 2000. The 13 contributions emphasize recent research and developments on non thermal technologies, use of bacteriocins, rapid methods for detection of microorganisms, smart packaging, protein structuring, use of biosensors and new extrusion processes for preservation, processing, modification, and control of food quality. Topics include a review of improved and nontraditional methods for detecting microorganisms, including automated conventional techniques, optical counting methods, and biochemical, electrometric, immunological, and molecular techniques; the use of genetically engineered Lactococcus lactis to treat inflammatory bowel disease; and Pulsed Electric Field (PEF) processing as an energy-efficient means of inactivating microorganisms.
