Although chemical engineering and food technology are subject areas
closely related to food processing systems and food plant design,
coverage of the design of food plants is often sporadic and
inadequately addressed in food technology and engineering books.
Some books have attempted to treat food engineering from this dual
point of view but, most have not achieved balanced coverage of the
two. Focusing on food processing, rather than chemical plants, Food
Plant Design presents precise design details with photos and
drawings of different types of food processing plants, including
food processing systems, refrigeration and steam systems, conveying
systems, and buildings.

The authors discuss the subject in an ordered format that gives you
the tools to produce food products with minimum cost. Including
modeling procedures for food processing systems and auxiliary
systems, they elucidate synthesis techniques and procedures. Using
a clear structure for different levels of information and data on
different food processing alternatives, the book outlines solutions
to plant design problems in the context of overall optimization of
an agro-industrial system and corresponding food chain. It provides
the work procedures and techniques for solving the design problems
of a food processing plant and in making a defined food product.
