Food Process Engineering by Dennis R Heldman

Food Process Engineering by Dennis R Heldman

The Second Edition of Food Process Engineering by Dr. Dennis Heldman, my former student, and co-author Paul Singh, his former student, attests to the importance of the previous edition. In the Foreword to the First Edition, I noted the need for people in all facets of the food processing industry to consider those variables of design of particular importance in engineering for the food processing field. In addition to recognizing the many variables involved in the biological food product being handled from production to consumption, the engi- neer must oftentimes adapt equations developed for non-biological materials. As more and more research is done, those equations are appropriately modified to be more accurate or new equations are developed specifically for designing to process foods. This Edition updates equations used. This book serves a very important need in acquainting engineers and technologists, particularly those with a math- ematics and physics background, with the information necessary to provide a more efficient design to accomplish the objectives. Of prime importance, at present and in the future, is to design for efficient use of energy. Now, it is often economical to put considerably more money into first costs for an efficient design than previously, when energy costs were a much smaller proportion of the total cost of process engineering.

DENNIS R. HELDMAN is currently Principal, Heldman Associates in San Marcos, California. In addition, he is Adjunct Professor at the University of California-Davis and Professor Emeritus at the University of Missouri. Previously, Heldman has been Director of the Cooperative Research and Development Program at the Center for Advanced Food Technology and Professor of Food Process Engineering, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, New Jersey.

The author, coauthor, editor, or coeditor of numerous professional publications, including the Handbook of Food Engineering (Marcel Dekker, Inc.), he is a member of the Institute of Food Technologists, the American Society of Agricultural Engineers, the Institute of Biological Engineering, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the American Association of Cereal Chemists, among other organizations. Professor Heldman currently serves on the Scientific Advisory Council for the World Food Logistics Organization.
